“When Betsy served on the board of directors of the Family Service Center and began serving as Chair of the Public Relations Committee, she activated the committee and was
the driving force in a range of initiatives to publicize the organization. Few people have made the contribution to this Center that Betsy Storm has. She has excellent skills in public relations and the personal initiative to effectively implement them.”

"I've known Betsy for years. Our first interaction was in her role as an author. When we met, she was writing a book on 50 Chicagoans who had changed the city for the better. She did a fabulous job on the book. When our senior communications director retired, I contacted Betsy to fill-in on a part-time basis. She did a great job, and we retained her on contract for almost a year, well after we made a hire. Betsy is a joy to work with, professional, a great writer, conscientious, and concludes projects on-time"
Gary Slutkin, M.D., Founder, Cure Violence Global, Chicago
