Chicago is well-known for producing both great journalists and stories the grab national attention.
Founded
in 1991, the Chicago Chapter has
grown from four members to become
one of NLGJA's largest and most visible chapters. With members
throughout Illinois, Wisconsin
and parts of Indiana, the Chicago
Chapter focuses on keeping
members connected, providing fun
social events and mentoring student journalists.
Our members know how to work hard and play hard, and they have a strong dedication to keeping the LGBT coverage of our local communities fair and balanced.
One of NLGJA's premiere chapters, we have hosted two NLGJA National Conventions in our fair city, including "Out in the Heartland," NLGJA's 15th Anniversary Celebration & Convention in 2005.
