“My evolution as a Chicagoan takes an important step forward tonight,” said Motamed. “Being associated with the tradition of social service pioneered by Jane Addams is an honor. I truly believe we are not at home in a community until we give something back. As important, I believe we cannot do well in business without also doing good in the communities where we work and live. It’s really pretty simple. Whether it’s social services … or business … or making a home in a new city, the common thread are the relationships we build and the good we do for other people.”
