Ready and willing to serve Oak Brook

Thank you to everyone who voted to elect me the next president of the village of Oak Brook. It will be an honor and a privilege to serve you, and to work with the village staff and the village board.

We will work together toward effective, efficient and ethical government that will be civilized, orderly and accountable to all residents. I take seriously the responsibility you have given me, and look forward to serving this great community.

To those who did not vote for me, I respectfully ask you to judge my work with an open mind and heart. I will do everything I can to advance Oak Brook, build consensus and provide trustworthy leadership. I am eager to hear from you about your interests, needs and concerns for the village of Oak Brook. I hope you will join us at the meetings of the village board. We’ll continue to make them available on the village website.

Our residents will soon have the opportunity to indicate interest in an appointment to one of the many boards and commissions. Please consider giving some of your time and talent in the service of our community. Together we will make Oak Brook a wonderful place to live and work, shop and play.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you. I am eager to start working hard on your behalf, and look forward to working closely with you in the coming months and years.
