World Business Chicago had a blast touring the beautiful and historic town of Pullman, located in Chicago's far south side. While we are a partner in Pullman's ever-growing economic development, it was a particularly special treat to walk together through its neighborhoods to its National Historic Park - the ONLY National Park in Illinois. The history of Pullman is simply too rich for a single LinkedIn post - but we'd like to extend a gracious thank you to David Doig and Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives for the introduction to both their work at U.S. Bank Tower and the tour of the Pullman area. Be sure to reach out to LaForce Baker , our Vice President of Community Impact to find out how you can get involved in our projects in Pullman

Chicago is both honored and proud to be among the first cities in the United States to host a professional women’s rugby team. Women's Elite Rugby (WER) is the first professional women's rugby league in the nation, and a leading example for sports organizations by providing their athletes access to both a platform and compensation to allow them to perform at an elite level and build their careers as athletes doing what they love. Women's rugby runs deep in Chicago's veins - the first Women's National Championship in Rugby was hosted in Chicago in 1978, which ultimately led to the National Club Championships at the Polo Grounds, setting a new standard for the women's sport with a beautiful venue and a million dollar insurance policy. "I do have a long history with women’s rugby", said Phil Clement, President & CEO of World Business Chicago. "At Aon we sponsored the Irish women’s rugby team when they won the Six Nations contest. They had never had a sponsor before. The energy is amazing." We are excited for WER's inagural season to begin in Spring 2025, and look forward to further announcements in the coming weeks.
