Join us for Midtown-Metro’s 2025 Metro Advancement Council (MAC) Luncheon on March 20, 2025, at the renowned Union League Club in Downtown Chicago (65 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL 60604) featuring keynote speaker Lisa Duarte.
Lisa Duarte, founder and CEO of Point of Difference Strategies and equity partner at Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres, was named one of Chicago Magazine’s 50 Most Powerful Chicagoans in 2024. Known for her impact at the intersection of law and government, she played key roles in Illinois’ first gaming bill in a decade, pension system reforms, and the state’s COVID-19 response.
A champion for the Latino community, Lisa is a founding board member of the Chicago City Council Latino Caucus Foundation Leadership Academy and mentors diverse law students. She also serves on boards like the Museum of Contemporary Art and Choose Chicago, earning numerous honors for her leadership and service.
Midtown-Metro’s annual MAC Luncheon benefits the acclaimed and life-changing programs for 3rd-12th grade girls at the Metro Achievement Center in Chicago. Metro provides students from low-income communities with academic tutoring, character development, 1:1 mentoring, and programs and support for their parents. Metro's goal is for students to achieve both academic and personal success.
