Remembering Yvonne White-Morey

The Chicago Area Chapter of Grant Professionals Association is sad to announce the passing of our dear chapter president, Yvonne White-Morey. Yvonne was a collaborative leader who was serving her second term as president. Yvonne was greatly looking forward to leading our chapter as we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2026.

Some of her last actions as Chapter President included leading a contingent of chapter members for Hill Visits in Washington, DC in October; representing us at the annual GPA Grant Summit in Baltimore in November; convening our annual meeting in December; and setting up a structure for our annual planning meeting coming up this month.

Yvonne’s passion for the power of grant-funded solutions endeared her to her many clients. Her ability to connect quickly and bring out the best in others made her an outstanding mentor and leader for grant professionals in the Chicago area and across the GPA family.
