Board & Staff

The DSA of NWI & Chicagoland's staff has a strong commitment to serving the many constituents of our organization. But first and foremost, they focus their energies on those who take advantage of our programs and services.

Our board represents a cross-section of our community and has a passion for the Down Syndrome Association of Northwest Indiana and those we serve. The members work hard to ensure long-term sustainability of our organization and oversee that the funds raised directly affect those in need of our services.
