Kathleen Haines-Finley has been a member of the Fashion Group International, Chicago Community for many years serving on the Board of Directors and as Membership Chair.  Additionally, Kathleen is the Co-Chair for FGI, Chicago Career Day 2013 scheduled for 11/11/13.

It is my great pleasure to now introduce Kathleen as the FGI, Chicago “Community Liaison”.  In this role, Kathleen will work closely with Industry Leaders, Academic and Government organizations to most effectively coordinate our Volunteer, Mentoring and Internship efforts. 

For over 20 years, Kathleen has gracefully intertwined Education, Fashion Design, Retail, and Beauty Consulting giving her a broad and deep prospective on these related industries.  She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design from the International Academy of Design and Technology in 1991.  Finally, she is currently the Cle de Peau Manager at Neiman Marcus.

To say she is the perfect "Ambassador for FGI, Chicago" is an under-statement.  She is the embodiment of that title! 

Please contact Kathleen for more information on our Volunteer, Internship and/or Mentorship opportunities.
