DE&I Committee
Wendy Cappelletto, Paige Fox and Zisl Edelson, co-chairs
Committees are where the chapter’s work gets done — from education and legislation to mentorship, litigation, and member engagement. These are the teams shaping IL NAELA throughout the year.
Each committee is led by chapter members who volunteer their time and expertise. Members are always welcome to join a committee and help advance elder law in Illinois.
