June Business Luncheon
Join us for a very special luncheon with Alderman Ameya Pawar!
In 2011, Ameya Pawar was elected Alderman of Chicago’s 47th Ward. Alderman Pawar is the first Asian-American elected to the Chicago City Council. While running for office, Alderman Pawar discussed the need for aldermen to legislate on city-wide issues in addition to ensuring city services are delivered efficiently.
In his ward, Alderman Pawar created a K-12 neighborhood school community group called, GROW47. The purpose of GROW47 is to organize residents, business owners and parents around neighborhood schools. Alderman Pawar also led the effort to implement participatory budgeting in the 47th ward.
Currently, Pawar is pursuing his third master’s degree at the University of Chicago in the School of Social Service Administration. In 2011, Alderman Pawar was named to Crain’s Chicago Business 40 under 40 list. More recently, Alderman Pawar was awarded the Visionary Leadership Award by Arise Worker Center for his role in passing the Chicago Anti-Wage Theft Ordinance.
Over a delicious lunch at new local hotspot Grand Tour, Pawar will be discussing key issues and happenings in the 47th Ward. This luncheon is a great opportunity to meet with your alderman and his team and share ideas. Hope to see you there!
