AFN is pleased to welcome K. Sujata, Director of Programs for the Eleanor Foundation, as a new member of our Steering Committee this summer. We are excited to bring her talent and expertise to AFN.
Sujata manages the grantmaking function for the Eleanor Foundation, bringing significant experience in housing and women's issues to her work of guiding economic self-sufficiency programs for single working women since 2006. She addressed housing issues as Director of the Chicago Continuum of Care (now the Chicago Alliance to End Homelessness), a public-private partnership established to oversee the city's 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness, and as Director of Planning at Interfaith Housing Development Corporation of Chicago. Through her tenure as Executive Director of Apna Ghar, Sujata doubled that nonprofit organization's budget as she raised awareness of domestic violence and women's empowerment in Chicago's South Asian community.
Sujata holds a PhD in Materials Science from Northwestern University and an MBA from the Illinois Institute of Technology. Sujata was honored as one of 35 Champions for Change by Women Employed in 2008, and is a 2009 Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow.
