Effective May 1, 1992, our Village Clerk, Hester M. Gilroy will retire from her position in the Village of Stanford.

Hester has been our Clerk since 1959, reelected each consecutive term! We feel this must set some kind of record!...

Mrs. Donna McAllister, CMC/AAE, City Clerk of the City of Des Plaines, Illinois, has been accepted into the SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP of the IIMC Academy for Advanced Education.

The IIMC Academy for Advanced Education was instituted in 1981 to further the professional education of municipal clerks to enhance their skills as needed to meet the challenges of the office of municipal clerk. Every four years, all Academy members have to demonstrate that they have actively engaged in educational and professional participation that keeps them current with the changing events in the local government scene.

The ILLINOIS MUNICIPAL REVIEW continues to be an open forum of expression for municipalities. Articles appearing in the Review do not necessarily express the views of the League or its staff but those of the various authors.
