I have been President of the Board of Trustees since 2017. In that time, the Board has accomplished a lot! We passed a balanced budget every year and improved service to our residents by increasing firefighter/paramedic staff and purchasing a modern ambulance and fire engine. The District improved its Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating to 2, a rating shared by less than 5% of fire departments nationwide. The District eliminated 2 part time administrative positions and assigned those duties to other staff. We improved the station building and maintained a financially sound pension fund.
My family and I have lived in Warrenville for 35 years. In addition to being WFPD Board President, I volunteered for several years with the City of Warrenville’s Bicyclist and Pedestrian Advisory Commission and with the City’s Emergency Management Agency. I was Secretary of the Warrenville Fire Protection District’s Board of Trustees in 2013 & 2014, and led the successful referendum effort, Elect Your Fire Trustees, which changed the WFPD’s Board to an elected board from an appointed board.
