April 20, 2006 - On Thursday, April 20, 2006, The Chicago Network held its 17th Annual Women in the Forefront Luncheon at the Hilton Chicago. Speaking to a sell out crowd of over 1,000, The Network was especially delighted to have our own Sheli Z. Rosenberg as keynote speaker.

Sheli has been a pacesetter in many areas: one of only seven women in her law school class at Northwestern University Law School; the first female partner at Schiff, Hardin & Waite; and one of the most influential real estate investors in the country as the former President and CEO of Equity Group Investments. Her commitment to ensuring opportunities for women led her to co-found the Center for Executive Women at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in 2001. Her accomplishments have been widely recognized.
