nick tarant

board president

Nick joined the Board as its President in 2025 after retiring from a 25-year career in marketing technology, where he helped several companies realize multi-million dollar funding rounds, three successful corporate exits, and an IPO.  Having served on several non-profit boards and philanthropic causes during that time, most recently he concluded a term on the board of Triage Cancer which supports cancer patients and their loved ones by educating them on the legal and practical issues that arise after a cancer diagnosis.  

As an investor in several Chicagoland communities, Nick regularly sees the importance of the family unit for maintaining a thriving city.  As parents of two girls and two boys, he and his wife were both born and raised in the Chicago area and now reside in Park Ridge, Illinois.  He is excited to have this opportunity to support the children and the foster system of his hometown!
