What is ChicagoFIRST?
Formed in July 2003 by Chicagos premier financial services institutions, this organization seeks to enhance the resilience of the Chicago financial community by: • Addressing business continuity and homeland security issues requiring a common or coordinated response on the part of financial institutions. • Working with government to better understand its approach to various crises, including evacuations, sheltering in place, and credentialing. • Ensuring that the public sector understands the importance of Chicagos financial community: regionally, nationally, and globally. • Building and maintaining relationships with government at all levels through strategic partnerships.
