Leadership

Please contact any officer or member of our Board of Directors regarding your interest in joining our leadership team or volunteering to assist with a committee. Our monthly Board meetings which are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month and open to all members. Typically we meet at the Downers Grove Library and Zoom access to the meetings is also available.
