This event is for professional advisors (attorneys, accountants, wealth managers, etc.) and their clients.
How are women shaping the future of philanthropy—and how can you better support your charitably-inclined clients?
Join DuPage Foundation’s Professional Advisor Committee on Tuesday, June 10 from 4:00–6:00 p.m. at our office (3000 Woodcreek Dr., Ste. 310, Downers Grove) for an insightful conversation on women’s philanthropy.
This event offers professional advisors the opportunity to hear directly from a panel of experienced leaders about how women approach charitable giving, the causes they prioritize, and the thoughtful decision-making that drives their impact. Attendees will gain insight into how to build deeper, more effective relationships with female clients who are passionate about making a difference.
Together, we’ll explore:
• What motivates women to give—and lead.
• How women prioritize impact in their charitable decisions.
• How advisors can help their female clients give effectively and with meaning.
Our panelists include:
• Kathy Krochock, JD | Retired, The State Bank of Geneva
• Tracie Joyce | Manager, Community Impact & Engagement, Endeavor Health
• Natalie Perry, CPA, JD | Partner, Harrison LLP
Stay after the panel for a short reception to connect with peers in our professional advisor network.
Space is limited! Reserve your spot today and be part of the conversation.
Thank you to Capstone Financial Advisors for their support as the Refreshment Sponsor for this event.
Arts DuPage Members’ Tour
Inside the Scene Shop: Where Dreams Begin!
Enter the world of Paramount Theatre's Scene Shop, a 30,000 sq. ft. facility where dreams are made! From a life-size grand piano to wild berry pies, Paramount's Props Team designs, builds, and sources the elements used in every performance on Paramount's stages.
You will meet Properties Team members Aimee Plant and Ivy Thomas, who will show you the assemblage process of the props projects that bring the shows to life. Paramount's Technical Director Team, Kelly Steimel and Justin Snyder, will then lead you through the scene shop space and reveal the secrets behind the making of award-winning stage designs of the Broadway and BOLD Series productions.
Please Note: The Scene Shop is located between a Citgo Gas station and a baseball field. The building has no signage indicating it is part of Paramount. Instead, it is labeled as "Food Service Distribution." You may park your vehicle in the lot in the front of the building. If that is full, there is additional parking in the back. Please enter through the large roll door on the side by the ball field.
The scene shop is an active workplace with hazards throughout the space. Visitors must wear closed-toed shoes. No sandals allowed!
