Our Events | Chicago Public Education Fund

The Fund supports Chicago’s education leaders by listening to their needs and responding with our programming and policy work. Another way that we aim to impact them is through our events, which celebrate their hard work, elevate their voices and stories, surface innovative practices and otherwise meet their needs.
