Dania Ballout
Board Member
Dania is an Assistant State's Attorney with the Cook County State's Attorney office, where she has prosecuted and litigated criminal charges at all levels, including in the appellate courts. She also contributes her time to Arab American Family Services, a non-profit located in the south suburbs of Chicago, where she aids in filing various immigration petitions for low-income families. Dania grew up in none other than Little Palestine and is extremely passionate about Chicago and being involved in her community. She obtained her Juris Doctorate degree from UIC Law and her Bachelor's degree from DePaul University.
In her spare time, Dania volunteers with the Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago, which is where a lot of her passion lies: animals. She is also (unfortunately) a die-hard Bulls fan.
