Jacob Sitati who serves as acting secretary and special events coordinator, made the announcement through an invitation that was sent out Tuesday to the association’s membership and other potential community members.

“The purpose of this meeting will be to elect new officers who will continue to plan and organize CAKP activities in the future” said Sitati.

We would like to see CAKP continue with this vision and expand to other areas all with the goal of encouraging continued professional association within the Kenyan community and the Chicago community at large, added Sitati.

Since inception over five years ago, CAKP has played a vital role in linking Kenyan professionals in Chicago. In the past year, CAKP organized a number of professional events, hosted honorable guests and collaborated with other organizations such as United Kenyans of Chicago (UKC) in community-based efforts.

Sitati is a law student at John Marshall Law School and also interns as a law associate at the Chicago-based Laner, Muchin, Dombrow, Becker, Levin and Tominberg, Ltd., is one of the oldest and largest law firms in the country. The business concentrates exclusively in representing management in the field of labor, employment law and employee benefits.
