Ms. Bridget Bean
Ms. Bridget Bean is the Foundation’s Administrative Assistant. She is a graduate of Kendall College with a BA in History and American Studies. Ms. Bean has been with the Foundation since 2012. In addition to running the day to day operations of the office, she also provides support for the Foundation’s many Conferences, Think Tanks, and Summits. She has many years experience in administrative work, including working in this capacity at a high-paced Chicago commodities firm and at the first mail-order women’s clothing firm.
