The Illinois Municipal League (IML) elected officers and members to its Board of Directors at the 105th Annual Conference, held September 20-22 at the Hilton Chicago and attended by more than 2,000 local elected and appointed officials.
On Saturday, September 22, 2018, the IML membership unanimously elected Macomb Mayor Michael J. Inman to serve a one-year term as President. Also elected during the conference were Mayor Leon Rockingham, Jr. of North Chicago as First Vice President and Mayor Ricky J. Gottman of Vandalia as Second Vice President.
In addition to the officers, 36 Vice Presidents were elected to serve a one-year term on the statewide organization’s Board of Directors. River Forest Village President Catherine Adduci was elected to serve as a Vice President.
“Through my interaction with mayors from across the state, I will be able to assist in solving some of the very real issues our community and state face,” said Adduci “I am excited to exchange ideas and share solutions as we advocate for local government at the state and federal level.”
The Illinois Municipal League is the statewide organization representing local communities throughout Illinois. Founded in 1913, IML has worked continuously for the benefit of all 1,298 municipalities in Illinois to provide a formal voice on matters involving common interests.
