Bounce Children’s Foundation Welcomes Meg Rowley to the Board of Directors

 

Deerfield, IL (July 25, 2024) - Bounce Children’s Foundation®, a not-for-profit organization that transforms, from surviving to thriving, the lives of chronically ill children, and their families, has elected Meg Rowley to its Board of Directors. Meg serves as Partner & Market Leader for Cerity Partners at their Chicago office. She possesses more than 25 years of experience in managing client relationships and providing comprehensive wealth management to individuals, multi-generational families, business owners, and executives. 

  

Prior to Cerity Partners, Meg was a Managing Director and Client Advisor at J.P. Morgan where she excelled at efficiently managing client relationships and providing seamless delivery of investment management, private banking, trust, and wealth advisory services. She built a solid rapport with her clients by understanding their current, and future, needs while simultaneously, marshaling the firm's resources on their behalf. Meg began at J.P. Morgan Private Banking (previously known as First National Bank of Chicago) as a Private Banker and was quickly promoted to Client Advisor, the starting point of an incredibly successful career. 

  

While building powerful client relationships and delivering wealth management, Meg has always been actively engaged in the community. She is a past member of CHIEF, a private professional network for women leaders that aims to support and unite women executives and help influence gender parity in business. Meg is also a former board member for both the Chicago Finance Exchange and Trinity High School, as well as a former member of the Leader Council for the Mercy Home for Boys & Girls. 

  

Says Meg, “I am a firm believer in giving back, in paying it forward. Organizations that support children are of particular interest to me.” This commitment drives her passion for Bounce. “It’s difficult to imagine, and truly appreciate, the struggles chronically ill children and their families face each day. I’m excited to join an innovative organization, totally focused on making a positive difference for these families.” 

  

Reflecting on Meg’s election, Bounce Board Chair, Bobby Lucas noted, “Meg’s combination of a deep commitment to serving others and her keen business acumen are the perfect combination. She will help us expand and grow while never losing sight of the needs of kids and families.” 

  

Meg received her BBA at St. Mary’s College and earned an MBA from Dominican University. She currently resides in the Greater Chicago Area.

Bounce Children’s Foundation® (Bounce), a Chicagoland not-for-profit organization, transforms the lives of chronically ill children, and their families, shifting all from surviving to thriving. Offering a variety of ongoing home and community-based programs, Bounce is unique in filling a vital gap in the patchwork of care for the nearly 1 in 5 U.S. children forced to battle chronic illness. Combatting a deep sense of invisibility and extreme isolation, Bounce provides community and connection, fun and friendship, education and resources, hope and encouragement, and a place to belong - until cures are found for both sick kids and their loved ones. Currently, more than 2,400 Kiddos, Siblings, and Parents/Guardians are supported. Bounce empowers these members to build the resilience they need to live happier, healthier lives. As one Bounce Dad put it, “Bounce helps families heal!” One hundred percent privately funded, Bounce is offered free of charge. While there is no income requirement, many families are low income and all face extraordinary out-of-pocket medical costs. Since its inception, Bounce has never turned away a qualifying child/family.
