If you know Adrian, you know he is extremely diligent at achieving his best possible self. In his spare time, he enjoys working out, reading, watching documentaries, exploring Chicago, and spending time with friends and loved ones. Ultimately, Adrian’s guiding principle in these pursuits is to become the best possible helping hand to others.

It was when he began working at CIBC that Adrian heard about Compass to Care for the first time. Several of his new colleagues urged him to use his talents as a member of our Associate Board. “After finding out about the impact and strides the organization was making,” Adrian said, “I decided to jump on board to continue in helping the organization grow and achieve its mission”.

Since June, Adrian has definitely lived up to this promise. He says his favorite thing about serving on the board is working with other young professionals toward a common mission by capitalizing on each of their strengths.

From the success of this year’s Bubble Fun Run and Gold Ribbon Gala, it is apparent that this strategy has paid off for the Associate Board. This is because it is filled with people like Adrian, who are talented and driven to help others. Most importantly, they share a common belief in the mission of Compass to Care. Adrian, for one, is excited for the organization’s bright future. “With the dedicated members at every level,” he said, “I think we will continue to surpass prior year fund raising efforts and continue to become a well-known organization that helps families across the nation.”
