CHICAGO-Although the size of the requirement is not yet known, the Muscular Dystrophy Association announced on Thursday that it was relocating its national headquarters from Tucson, AZ to Chicago.
“Chicago is an ideal location to serve as the home of our national office,” said Dr. R. Rodney Howell, chairman of the board. “This move will give MDA opportunities to enhance both our income and our mission impact.”
The MDA is searching for leased office space in Chicago with the hopes of opening its new offices by early 2014. Some existing MDA field staff in Chicago and some Tucson-based jobs will relocate to the new offices, according to Crain's Chicago Business. The association says it will have between 30 to 40 employees housed at its Chicago office within the next year.
