Notable Features:

Located in the iconic Chicago Board of Trade Building, a historic landmark known for its Art Deco architecture and significant presence in Chicago's financial district.

Work Culture:

The work culture at Easterseals' headquarters is deeply mission-driven, collaborative, and inclusive. Employees are passionate about making a positive impact, fostering an environment of respect, innovation, and dedication to serving individuals with disabilities.

HQ Significance:

The headquarters is pivotal in unifying the efforts of numerous local Easterseals centers, ensuring consistent quality of service, championing disability rights at a national level, and driving the organization's vision for a more inclusive society.

Location:

Easterseals primarily operates within the United States, including Puerto Rico. While it has historical ties with organizations in Canada and Australia (which now operate independently), its current direct service provision and affiliate network are concentrated in the U.S. The organization supports its mission through national programs, advocacy, and a federated model of local service delivery rather than extensive international office branches. Its influence on disability services, however, has been a model for organizations globally.
