Kathy Houde - Chair
Kathy assumed the role of Chair from outgoing Chair Tom Burns in the summer of 2012.
Kathy Houde is passionate about helping business owners impact society through strong and thriving businesses. Having held leadership roles in business for over 30 years, she served as President and CEO of Calumet Photographic for 15 of those years where she was able to provide substantial resources into local communities to encourage youth to pursue their education and creativity. In 2001, she started a consulting practice dedicated to helping business owners grow and prosper in their businesses through an expanded vision of success—impacting those in need through the blessings of their business.
Kathy currently serves on the Board of the Village Church of Barrington and leads the church's Lifelong Learning & Equipping Center. She is excited to see God at work through the building of Love INC in the Lake County.
