Magellan employees and friends had the distinct honor of meeting former US Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright at Concern Worldwide’s Women of Concern Awards Luncheon.

The 2018 event was held June 1, 2018 at the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago; in addition to Secretary Albright, Joanne Smith, MD, CEO and President of the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab was honored for humanitarian efforts.

In 1997, Dr. Albright was named the first female Secretary of State and became, at that time, the highest ranking woman in the history of the U.S. government.

As Secretary of State, Dr. Albright reinforced America’s alliances, advocated for democracy and human rights, and promoted American trade, business, labor, and environmental standards abroad.

Concern Worldwide is a nonprofit working to end extreme poverty, whatever it takes.
