DUROS - Editor, Writer, Producer and Communication Consultant
Sally Duros is an editor and writer for multimedia, print and voice. Her
career began at The Wall St. Journal and continued at Crain Communications,
where she served in various positions including managing editor of Crain's
City & State, the top spot for that publication. Now owned by Congressional
Quarterly, City & State was a biweekly newspaper that delivered news
on the business of government and innovation in public policy to 70,000
mayors, governors and city executives nationwide.
Bitten by the good government bug, Duros decided to take a position with
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley implementing initiatives like those City
& State had written about. As a mayoral aide, Duros worked with a
board of Chicago CEOs directing civic projects that reduced fragmentation
and waste in city operations. These projects included reorientation toward
customer service of several City departments, establishment of a Mayoral
director of donor relations, and creation of a Risk Management policy
and process. During this time, Duros was also responsible for complex
citywide communication initiatives for Mayor Daley that included crafting
an emergency operational plan during a deadly heat wave and establishing
the Mayor's School Partners Program, a public/private partnership
Duros has a Master of Science in Communication from Northwestern University
and a BA in Psychology from the University of Illinois. Duros has served
on the boards of the Association
of Consultants to Non-Profits, Genesis
House and WorldWIT.
