Mission Web Site Newsletter Global Chicago Book Midwest Media Project Our Team Executive Committee		The Global Chicago Center of The Chicago Council on Global Affairs enhances Chicago’s strengths as a global city and raises awareness – both here and abroad – of Chicago’s global connections. It acts as a catalyst to bring Chicago's diverse global resources closer together and spread information on the city's many global connections. It does this by: Identifying Chicago’s global assets and its economic, social, intellectual, and cultural links to the rest of the world; Facilitating communication and collaboration among internationally-minded groups; and Helping Chicagoans understand the challenges and opportunities of globalization. The Global Chicago Center emerged from discussions initiated by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, culminating in the publication of a report on Chicago’s global assets.
