John E. Chapman
Chief Executive Officer
Heather led a $10 million Care Center project which included fundraising, strategic planning and the facilities that serve 17,000 under-resourced families each year. She has since helped with support and training for 18 centers in Ukraine. During her time as Executive Pastor, Heather created and led a performance effectiveness system that was used by over 100 ministries.
Through LiveGive, Heather now serves as the philanthropy advisor for clients ranging from multi-generational families to growing businesses and publicly traded companies. She also serves as a senior C-suite advisor for numerous businesses and organizations, providing consulting in areas of leadership, strategy, transitions and board relations. Heather is currently an outside advisor to the Board of Directors for Clearwater Capital Partners, LLC. She has served on the Board of Trustees at Taylor University since 2014, and she is also a board member for Development Associates International and the Ukrainian Partnership Foundation.
Heather is an alumnus of Taylor University and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business. She received the G. Roselyn Kerlin Woman in Leadership Award. She has spoken internationally on issues of leadership and philanthropy and has been a plenary speaker in many forums, including The White House Forum on Social Innovation, the Global Leadership Summit in Germany, the LED Conference in Norway, the Salvation Army Sustaining Good Conference, AIDS Conference, and Mosaix National Multiethnic Conference.
Whether dreaming with a woman in a hut in Malawi, brainstorming with an entrepreneur in Guatemala or connecting with a business owner in Chicago, Heather loves helping people maximize their potential. Her favorite time, though, is hanging out with her husband and their two daughters. She loves traveling, exploring nature, getting lost in great music or a good book, cooking and hosting parties, gardening, walking the beach (whenever she can get near one), and polishing rocks to find the hidden beauty.
