A Career Twist (printed in the Fall 2020 Dominican Magazine)

Marcy Traxler MBA ’13 recently started a new role as senior vice president of network advancement at the Chicago-based national office of Easterseals, a not-for-profit organization that provides resources for individuals with disabilities, veterans, seniors and their families.



The new role represents a change of direction for Marcy. Before joining Easterseals, she spent more than 20 years working in hospital administration, most recently as vice president of business development and service line strategy at AMITA Health System.



“I’ve always had a passion for children’s health and health care for women,” Marcy said. “But in my hospital roles, I didn’t always get to fulfill that mission-driven side of myself. For this part of my career, I wanted to do something where I could really make a difference.”



In her new role, Marcy works with the organization’s 68 nationwide affiliates on strategies to grow Easterseals and enhance its capacity.



“At Easterseals, I get to sit at the leadership table, which is ex- citing,” she said. “I’m looking forward to having a real impact on the organization’s transformation.”
