We are very excited to announce that this year we will be hosting Ms. Zully J.F. Alvarado as the keynote speaker. Zully is a Chicago businesswoman who founded the non-profit organization Causes for Change International which organizes volunteer programs in places like Ecuador, Panama, and Costa Rica. Growing up in rural Ecuador, Zully became very sick at a young age and due to a lack of proper medical supplies, facilities, and physicians she was taken to the United States to receive treatment. She went on to attend high school in Chicago and graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education from Loyola and a Master’s in Rehabilitation Administration at De Paul University. After a few years in social work, Zully again became ill, and chose to make a drastic change in her career path. She went into shoe design and for 11 years ran her own made-to-order shoe business. Her illness worsened, however, and she was forced to rethink her career. But instead of retiring, she opened a new business- Silverado Financial Network- and got married that same year. Only a few years later, Zully founded Causes for Change International, and she and her husband continue to work together to improve the lives of those who are truly in need.
