Advisory Councils - Chicago 2016 has created 16 advisory councils that will provide feedback to Chicago 2016 management and the board on pertinent aspects of the bid. The advisory councils play three important roles:

- React to proposals put forth by 2016 management on aspects of the bid relevant to the mission of the advisory council
- Ensure broad-based representation and consideration from the community on aspects of the bid relevant to the advisory council’s mission
- Advisory council members are drawn primarily from the at-large membership of the Chicago 2016 committee, although non-committee members are added from time to time to provide expertise or other valuable insights.
