The Current Board
- Purchased the Beth Hillel property for $5.4M without community input - or any idea what they were going to do with it
- Supported the Executive Director despite a $5M lawsuit against him and a mass exodus of senior level managers
- Installed a fence at Gillson's South beach and started charging fees without first consulting Wilmette residents
My Priorities
Financial Responsibility
Reinstate the Finance Committee to monitor expenditures and find grants and partnerships.Community Involvement
Involve the community in the decision making process via surveys, town halls, and referendums - and listen to what they have to say!Free and Open Parks
Keep South Beach free for quiet contemplation and appreciation of natural beauty. We already have two paid swim beaches - Langdon and Gillson. The board failed to provide a clear and consistent justification for the fence.Restore Public Trust
Hire a new Executive Director who will serve with honor and competence.
