The second annual Strictly Business Luncheon held on November 18, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago exceeded our expectations. More than 370 guests from the local business community, sponsors, current funders and partners joined us to network and support the JVS mission. Alan Stone, Stone Container Corp., Retired, a former Board President of JVS, received the 2009 Business Leadership and Philanthropy Award for his distinguished career and dedication to helping those less fortunate through various charitable organizations. A video produced and donated by Walgreens introduced the audience to two JVS programs which provide individuals with skills training and the tools to transition into employment. Jack Ablin, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, Harris Private Bank, gave a well received and timely presentation on the current state of the economy and trends in different investment areas. The successful luncheon will not only enable JVS Chicago to support new and existing programs, but will allow the agency to form new collaborative relationships with local businesses to meet their employment needs. In addition, as a networking event, Strictly Business brought together business leaders with a common interest in assisting unemployed, underemployed and disabled workers. JVS will use this successful event to encourage productive partnerships between and among these leaders to benefit the community especially in these uncertain economic times.
