ABOUT THE BOARD

Designs for Dignity’s board is comprised of design industry professionals, marketing and PR gurus, as well as business leaders and entrepreneurs who help guide the organization through strategic planning and insight. Together with a dynamic staff, Designs for Dignity has grown our impact for the greater Chicago nonprofit community. Since our inception, we have completed 260+ projects and deployed more than $18 million dollars in value of design hours and donated furnishings and materials to transform nonprofit environments. We value the commitment and dedication the Board of Directors has to keep Designs for Dignity at the forefront of empowering lives through design.
