Thanks Holli. Rudd Resources is proud to support the work of the Corporate Coalition of Chicago as a member. We appreciate your partnership.
Working with corporations to reduce inequities on Chicago's South & West sides | Former Operations Management Consultant
Hard to put into words the emotions of pride when you see your team featured in the local news for all the right reasons! I'm often asked - what do I do? If you have a few minutes - I'd recommend this read in Chicago Tribune over your next cup of coffee. We know that talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not. Many of today's systems and processes are set up to exclude rather than include. We at the Corporate Coalition of Chicago are on a mission to change that by challenging the business community to rethink business as usual and implement #BusinessUNusual. As with life, it takes a village to make this work possible -- Thank you to our more than 50 Corporate Coalition of Chicago members for embarking on this new journey with us. Thanks Chicago Tribune's Darcel R. for the feature, our friends and colleagues Rudd Resources LLC for getting us plugged in. Thanks to Brian Fabes, our fearless leader and visionary, for always encouraging us, our peers, and the corporate community at large to roll up our sleeves and #GetToWork. And thank you to our incredible team who leads this important work, day in and day out -- I'm looking at you Stephanie Dolan, Marcos Gonzales, Antoine Watson, Elizabeth Mieliwocki, Sara Wasserteil, Stefanie Hest, Anne Ladky, and Lincoln J Chandler, PhD. I am truly so proud and honored to get to do this work alongside you all. #BeTheChange #Inclusion #Access #Opportunity #Equity #Chicago #TeamWork #CommunityEngagement #InclusiveDevelopment #FairChanceHiring #SecondChanceHiring #MoveTheNeedle #CollectiveAction #StakeholderCapital

Rudd Resources is thrilled to announce that Kourtnie Nunley has been promoted to Account Supervisor. She joined the agency two years ago as a senior account executive and has distinguished herself as a strong project manager and leader. She is counted on for excellent and timely delivery of services on agency scopes of work, and for strong event production and video direction skills. A graduate of the 2024 IPREX Global Communication Leadership Academy, Kourtnie also is known for her can-do spirit and fearless approach to guiding work and colleagues -- great traits to have now as a lead of our 2024 Summer Associates program, which starts later this month. Please join us in giving this past Publicity Club of Chicago "30 Under 30" star a round of applause.
