Adler University is a higher education institution that is dedicated to graduating socially responsible practitioners, engaging communities, and advancing social justice. So, it should come as no surprise that our founder and CEO, Danielle Austen, has been appointed as the newest member of their Board of Trustees.  Austen is uniquely qualified for the role. She created fluent360 to celebrate multicultural consumers and their role in American society and designed its workforce in similar fashion.  Recently recognized as the 2023 Advertising Woman of the Year by the Chicago Advertising Federation, Danielle wields a wealth of expertise in multicultural marketing which will add indelibly to Adler’s continued commitment to addressing social justice.  To say we’re proud is an understatement. Congratulations to both!
