Anne Chapski Doyen, Esq.

Anne currently serves as Secretary of ALF’s national board of directors. Anne has been licensed to practice law in the state of Illinois since 1986. She worked for her father’s law firm, Robert A. Chapski, Ltd., from 1991 to 1997 and has been a principal of The Doyen Law Group, L.L.C. since 2015. In addition to her legal career, Anne brings decades of philanthropic leadership, having chaired numerous fundraisers for community organizations including St. Thomas More Parish, St. Edward’s Central Catholic High School in Elgin, Illinois, and the Kane County Bar Foundation.

Anne became involved with American Liver Foundation after being diagnosed with end‑stage liver disease in 2017. Listed for a liver transplant, she faced significant challenges due to her O‑positive blood type and was given only months to live without a transplant. Her only option was a living donor. Following extensive testing, Anne’s daughter, Katie, was found to be a match, and on June 15, 2017, Loyola University Medical Center performed its first living donor liver transplant—giving Anne a second chance at life. Today, Anne and Katie are both living healthy, productive lives and are deeply committed to raising awareness about liver health, the lifesaving impact of living donation, and continued advancements in liver disease treatment.

In addition to serving as Secretary of ALF’s national board of directors, Anne serves on ALF’s Executive and Nominating Committees bringing her professional expertise, philanthropic leadership, and powerful patient perspective to help advance ALF’s mission on behalf of patients and families nationwide.
