student and government leaders

Wilmette Government Updates - January 22, 2025

intergovernmental committee meeting

Here in Wilmette we host the State of the Village every other year.
In this off year, we would like to encourage all of our members to attend the Wilmette Intergovernmental Committee (Village, Township, D39, D27, Park District, Library) meeting with updates about current intergovernmental projects (sustainability, mental health) and opportunities for further intergovernmental cooperation as well as the key findings of their decennial reviews of governmental efficiencies. This program is an opportunity to hear updates from each of these Wilmette entities at once, similar to the LWV-W's biennial State of the Village.
