Program Partners Meeting

Join the Burnham Plan Centennial Committee for a special meeting that will provide program partners ample opportunity for networking, a sneak preview of our enhanced website, an overview of our communications plan and information about how partners can become an integral part of the region’s next Bold Plan: “GO TO 2040.” 

Plan to stay after the meeting if you can for a guided tour Michigan Avenue’s newest building – the renowned Spertus Institute for Jewish Studies.

The Burnham Brown Bag lunches are designed to help inform and connect Burnham Plan Centennial partners and advance program planning. Each lunch will feature one or two brief “idea generator” presentations about a project under development, opportunities to discuss potential ties and collaborations, time for exchange of other ideas, and small group or one-on-one networking. Bring your own brown bag (beverages provided) and join us from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. at AIA Chicago, 35 E. Wacker Drive – Suite 250.

April 2008:  Topic to be determined based on Partner interests. If you have a topic around which you would like convene a discussion, please contact Laurie Scott at 312.332.6179 or l.scott@burnhamplan100
