With more than 370 guests attending last year’s event, we look forward to another year of bringing together representatives from Chicago’s local business community, sponsors, current funders and partners to network and support the JVS mission.
The combination of SPR and Dr. Kotler is a chance for JVS to honor those who have made a commitment to working with people with disabilities by demonstrating the differences it can bring to the business community, and the success of this 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 will bring together business leaders with a common interest in assisting unemployed, underemployed and disabled workers. JVS looks forward to using the successes of this event to encourage productive partnerships between and among these leaders to benefit the community especially in these uncertain economic times.

Our Honoree for the 2010 luncheon is SPR Companies,
its President and CEO Robert Figliulo. Through SPR’s
nAblement division, the company is dedicated to employing
persons with disabilities in the technology world. Mr. Figliulo’s
own personal experiences as a father of a daughter with
disabilities led him to this commitment. SPR has turned this
to its competitive advantage by demonstrating social responsibility in action. As
an SPR partner, JVS identified clients to fill opportunities at SPR. The head of
nAblement division, Pat Maher, has been an active member of JVS’ Business
Advisory Committee and JVS Board member John Daniels is a member
of the SPR team. JVS is proud to acknowledge SPR and their achievements.
