⭐️ GOOD Guys Returns to Chicago! ⭐️ NCWBA’s signature GOOD Guys program is proud to be partnering again with The Chicago Bar Association, as well as the law firm of Saul Ewing LLP, for a program on August 1, from 1:00pm - 2:30 pm at 161 North Clark’s amazing conference center on the 12th floor. The program will kick off with a new twist – Miko Brown, a Denver attorney and nationally recognized in-house lawyer with Airbnb, and former law firm partner, will introduce her brainchild, Project Ganesha, which consists of easy to implement playbooks, coaching, and mentoring to support women and diverse attorneys. These resources are designed to reduce attrition and increase lawyer success and well-being on the path to partnership. A GOOD Guys panel will then follow with a rock star lineup - Quentin Jennings, General Counsel for Milhaus, Jason St. Julien, Lead Counsel of Community Trust for Airbnb, Inc., John C. Sciaccotta, Member, Aronberg Goldgehn and 2024-25 President of The Chicago Bar Association (who is also a member of NCWBA’s GOOD Guys Committee), and Greta Weathersby, Senior Corporate Counsel for WEC Energy Group. The panel will be moderated by Gene Commander of Gene Commander Inc., and formerly managing partner of Polsinelli in Denver Colorado, and another member of NCWBA’s GOOD Guys Committee, and Teresa Beck, Klinedinst PC Managing Shareholder for NV, and co-chair of Klinedinst’s DEIB Committee. NCWBA’s GOOD Guys: Chicago Leaders Edition has been carefully curated with input from our members to focus on engaging male leaders as activists for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and we encourage our members to consider who they know in Chicago, or who may be in Chicago at this time, and encourage them to attend. The Chicago Bar Association is offering MCLE credit for Illinois lawyers (1.50 hours Diversity/Inclusion PR-MCLE Credit). There is no cost for the event, and registration is required.

The Mentoring Circles session offers actionable information to help participants be more effective leaders, and is especially beneficial for current association presidents or president-elects.
