WINNETKA – The New Trier Citizens League is seeking residents to serve as trustees for New Trier Township. Trustees serve a four-year term and service includes monthly meetings September through June. The Board oversees the work of the township in conjunction with the supervisor, and trustees participate on Advisory Committees to allocate grant funding to social service agencies that meet the needs of residents.
The process of exploring a fit begins now in order that candidates may be slated on the ballot in November 2016 for the April 2017 Consolidated Election. The only requirement is that elected officials must be registered voters who reside in New Trier Township.
Interested parties or those wishing to nominate an acquaintance are encouraged to contact League President Peter Tyor at 847-446- 2217, 847-924- 8457 or ptyor@ripco.com for more information.
