Leadership


Laura Chew Executive Director

Laura connected with Choose Life Elgin in late 2021 when there was a desperate call for board directors.

After moving quickly to Board President, then Office Manager, Laura’s vision and ambition prompted us to appoint our first Executive Director. With a passion for life-affirming values, Laura set out to implement programs and events to connect personally with our community and to speak life and love, while educating those around us about the crippling issues of abortion and euthanasia. Laura is married with three children. They seek, as a family, to serve the Lord. Together with her husband, Laura has a passionate heart for adoption, in obedience to God’s calling.

Laura’s goal is to change the negative stereotype that people assume of pro-life organizations to one of love, support and value—and in doing so, to see lives saved!
