Mike Briggs has been serving as the President and CEO of Little Friends since 2017. Before this, he had a long-standing career as a manufacturing executive. Under his leadership, the agency has experienced growth in many areas. Mike oversaw the relocation of two long-time properties, which led to the creation of the agency’s 14-acre campus in Warrenville, Illinois. This campus serves 800 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, along with their families every year. Little Friends programs and services have expanded under Mike’s leadership, with a staff of over 350 and maintaining a diverse funding portfolio totaling more than $23 million.
Mike will be honored at the Titan 100 awards on February 20, 2025, at the Aon Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier. This unique cocktail-style awards event will gather 100 Titans of Industry and their guests for an evening unlike anything that exists in the Chicago business community.
