SUZANNE ROSS

is a passionate supporter of the performing and visual arts. An earlier career as a classical cellist eventually her led off stage to work in production and promotion for a wide range of Chicago arts organizations. Her love affair with theater began in the 1980s and 90s when she worked as a PR representative for many of Chicago’s storefront theaters and now legendary artistic leaders as they began to gain national attention. As her marketing career moved into the healthcare industry, Suzanne became an advocate for the role of arts in health and wellbeing and she has remained a loyal patron of the arts and humanities in Chicago. Suzanne makes a point to catch live theater when she travels and devote time to the Business Volunteers for the Arts program of the Chicago Arts & Business Council.
