Grace is excited to be a Facilitator for the WACC CEO East program. She is a graduate of Northern Illinois University starting her career in Human Resources at a medical facility. After 9 years, she decided to open her own business, Stone Bridge Running in Downtown Dixon. This niche running shop offers products to promote people being active in any form - focusing on walkers, runners, and those that stand all day. She and her husband, Jeff, have two adult children, a mowing business, an ultrarunning event company, two beloved pups, and a stereotypical cat (judgmental and annoyed at all times). Grace and her family are active members in the community supporting Discover Dixon, United Way of Lee County, the Reagan Run 5k, and so many entities that encompass the amazing area where they live. Grace looks forward to getting the students of CEO involved in business and community development through the various outlets throughout their area.
