Outside the Office
Running, reading and—thanks to her daughter—rabbits are three of Caroline’s favorite things.
Sprint triathlons used to be Caroline’s specialty sport; now she has little time to train but fits in running several times a week. She and her family also participate in the annual early-morning Kirkwood/Webster Turkey Day 5K run when they are in town.
A bunny entered the family home several years ago after the Chicoines’ thoroughly determined daughter presented a PowerPoint® brief on the advantages of bunny acquisition, and the rest is history. Luna (bunny on left) hopped into their lives and with the assistance of the Missouri House Rabbit Society; Blaise soon followed. “We love them,” Caroline says. She and her daughter and son also volunteer at the nonprofit organization.

Community Leadership
Caroline actively supports social justice, faith and educational initiatives in her community.
She helped lead the National Charity League, which supports two dozen philanthropic organizations in the St. Louis area. In addition, Caroline is actively involved at her parish, preparing casseroles for the St. Patrick Center’s Casserole Program and shopping for the supplies for the weekly 200 sandwiches her parish provides to the St. Vincent de Paul Parish’s Sandwich Window.
A strong supporter of education, which prepares tomorrow’s citizens and leaders, Caroline drew upon her engineering expertise when she coached a middle-school LEGO® robotics team. And at her children’s public school, which has an honor society for STEM students, she galvanized support for an English Honor Society.
Caroline also is an adjunct professor of the Trademark Practice course at Washington University’s School of Law, as a way to give back to the university.
