Broadview Mayor Elected to State Municipal Association Board
(Broadview, IL) - As a part of the 111th Illinois Municipal League Annual Conference in
Chicago this week, Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina was elected to the group’s board of
directors.
Thompson, who is serving in her second term as mayor, was elected on September 21 to
the Illinois Municipal League governing board for a one-year term along with 36 other
mayors.
“Mayors are united by a shared goal of strengthening our towns by strengthening the
residents in communities through investing in neighborhoods, particularly those that have
been historically overlooked and underinvested,” said Thompson. “I am looking forward to
serving on behalf of Illinois’ 1,294 municipalities as we work toward building stronger
communities by investing in equity in our towns like we are doing in Broadview.”
IML membership unanimously elected Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen, City of Champaign, to
serve a one-year term as President.
Also elected during the conference were Village President Sheila Chalmers-Currin, Village
of Matteson, as First Vice President, and Mayor Gary W. Manier, City of Washington, as
Second Vice President.
“Illinois mayors who succeed are those who collaborate to build stronger communities and
drive positive transformation for the entire state,” said Thompson. “Collaboration is the
path that the Village of Broadview has chosen – and it works.”
