Join the Voices Associates Board
The Voices Associates Board was formed by young professionals who wanted to promote the well-being of all children in Illinois through the support of Voices for Illinois Children. Associates Board members are emerging leaders from various professions who share a passion for helping children grow up healthy, happy, safe, loved and well educated. Members contribute in a variety of ways, from organizing fund raising events that raise awareness and revenue for Voices, to sponsoring educational events that inform the broader public about key children’s issues and policies that Voices champions.
