HartLife NFP welcomes new board member
Loyal Policies,
The Staff and Board of HartLife NFP are incredibly excited to welcome our newest board member: Jennifer Olson! Jennifer will be stepping up into the role of Events Chair for the HartLife Board.
Jennifer grew up on the plains of South Dakota chasing frogs and other slimy creatures. Now, she spends her time outside of the Museum of Science and Industry working as an editor and director of theatrical new work in Chicago and fussing with her hydroponic strawberries. When inspiration strikes, she has been known to adapt graphic novels to the stage, including Will Eisner’s “A Contract with God.” She still likes slimy creatures, but has since added board games, comics, tattoos, and craft beer to the list.

We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Jennifer to the HartLife team, and as always–
We’ll see you in the tunnels,
Vice President Gardner
