2025 State of the Village

How often do you get to hear Wilmette Village leaders speak about their work and the village we live in without it being part of a formal board meeting? Every two years, our chapter makes this possible by hosting an event accessible to all Village residents, in which Village leaders offer their comments on the Boards that they lead.

Time for questions and socializing will also be included. Register now to attend this important biennial event. Ample parking is available at Mallinckrodt.
