Class of 2009

Donna Rozycki

 A Chicago born native, Donna Rozycki raised her family in Bloomingdale, IL in Du Page County for the last 20 years. The quality of life it provides, its beauty and its people make her feel very blessed to call it home. Her career has taken her to different places over time; Executive Assistant for the Wirtz Corporation and Chicago Blackhawks, working as Marketing and Account Manager for GE Money and Lifetime Financial, both leading mortgage companies. The absolute joy in her life is raising her daughter Katlyn Marie and caring for her 90 years young father who shares her home.

 Donna has been privileged to serve on the fundraising committees for St. Jude Children’s Hospital raising thirty five thousand dollars a year to help dedicated physicians find cures for sick children and Blackhawk Charities, which help inner city children. St Isidore is her parish church ministry where she brings hand-sewn blankets, which are sent to those who need comfort.  

 She is born of immigrant grandparents of Italian decent. Her passion for family friends and traditions are deeply rooted in her. Donna is honored to serve the people of her town, being a Committeeman for the Bloomingdale Township Republican Party. She also serves as an Ambassador for the Bloomingdale Chamber of Commerce, where her responsibility is to guide and connect businesses with each other to help them flourish. She recently worked on the campaign trail with Senator Carole Pankau. “She is an example of what women raising children and juggling a career can do when they put their minds to it. Carole is a proud woman who leads with integrity and grace. Her support and friendship is a constant source of strength for me.” 

“To be selected to the Lincoln Series is an honor and privilege. Its leaders and their experience, knowledge, and passion will shape all who come after them. One by one they are shaping and building the foundation of government for the future. I believe wholeheartedly sharing the upcoming year with such phenomenal women can only make us better people and stronger leaders. I am anxiously waiting to learn and share that common thread that bonds us in the spirit of public service.”
