Thank you all for making JHA’s 125th Anniversary Event a fantastic success!

JHA was thrilled to host keynote speaker Larry Miller, Chairman of the Jordan Brand at Nike & Founder of JUMP (Justice and Upward Mobility Project). Larry was joined in conversation by Luke Tanen, President and CEO of Chicago Innovation. We thank Sandra Brown, Director of Training and Education, WJI Reclamation Center for sharing her original piece “Questions” with us to open the evening.
