The Runners' Club is based in Chicago and the
next class will begin in the second quarter of 2001. The majority of the program
classes will be held in Chicago, however potential Runners outside of the
Chicago area are welcome to apply and join the Runners' Club. The Runners' Club
is a global program and encourages participation from throughout the world. A
substantial number of participants from all of the program classes have been
non-Chicago area residents.
The program will have a Luncheon and
informational meeting for potential applicants in Chicago on January 26, 2001.
The meeting will provide a more detailed overview of the Runners' Club program
and the opportunity to interact with the Runners' Club staff and past
participants.
JoAnn Price, a founding principal and partner of
Fairview Capital Partners, will be the featured speaker at this Luncheon.
