The Shriver Center is proud to announce it will share office space with coalition partners Women Employed. Starting in December, the staff of Women Employed (WE) will join us at 67 East Madison Street, Suite 2000, in downtown Chicago. The move allows both organizations to spend less on overhead costs and invest more in programmatic work.
While the Shriver Center’s office will be shared with our longtime allies, we remain independent organizations with individual missions and areas of focus and expertise. The Shriver Center will maintain its own space, including meeting and collaboration areas.
We are excited to share space with our partners at Women Employed. This move allows us both to redirect funds to better serve our communities and deepen our collaboration. — Audra Wilson, President and CEO of the Shriver Center
We look forward to the opportunity this move provides for deeper collaboration with our longtime partners, the Shriver Center, and the potential this creates to have an even greater impact for the populations we serve. It makes good business and mission sense to steward resources so that we can put more into our policy and programmatic work, amplifying our mission even further. — Cherita Ellens, President and CEO of Women Employed
