Lightfoot Taps PR Veteran as Next Chair of Choose Chicago
Mayor Lori Lightfoot named Glenn Eden as board chair for Choose Chicago, the city’s tourism and business travel marketing organization. Eden serves as EVP, corporate and technology lead for the Chicago office of public relations firm Weber Shandwick.
“Chicago’s tourism, hospitality, and meetings industry is a driving economic force that brings millions of people each year to the city to experience firsthand our culture, history and rich sense of community that make this city one of the most magnificent cities in the world,” said Lightfoot. “I can think of no one more qualified than Glenn to boost Chicago’s brand and image as a global destination to visit, meet and do business.”
At Weber Shandwick, Eden creates and implements PR, corporate reputation and executive visibility plans for private- and public-sector clients. He has established a proven track record of advising and counseling companies and government entities on media relations strategies.
