Meet Roslyn Turner, VP of Events and Marketing

Roslyn Turner, VP of Events and Marketing
Meet Roslyn Turner, VP of Events and Marketing of the Young Professionals Board. In this position, Roslyn is responsible for researching venues, coordinating event logistics and decor, and leading promotional efforts.

Roslyn's heart is purple for her mom and dad, Betty & Sol Turner, who bought fought courageous battles against pancreatic cancer. Throughout their battles, they taught Roslyn to live life to its fullest each day no matter what! A special memory is that every year for Roslyn's birthday, her mom would fill the entire kitchen with balloons before she woke up. Her mom was fighting her battle with pancreatic cancer during Roslyn's 20th birthday, so she didn’t expect balloons, but lo and behold, when Roslyn got home from work, her mom greeted her with a handful of balloons! "I was told that she was determined to have them there no matter how she felt or how long it took her. Her determination and love had never been more apparent and will be something I will never forget!" Roslyn said.

Now, for some fun facts about Roslyn…

Roslyn's hobby: scrapbooking. "As much as I don’t get to do it often I love scrapbooking!" she said.

As a child, Roslyn wanted to be a Disney Princess and a lawyer.

Roslyn is a marketing pro and currently lives in Chicago's River North neighborhood. She attended Lake Forest College and grew up in Highland Park, Il.
