At the meeting, representatives from each of the Village’s elected organizations will make short “state of the Village” presentations and the Caucus Nominating Committees will present the Caucus slate of candidates for Village President and Village, Park, Library and School Board Trustees or Members. A vote will be taken to ratify the slate of candidates. Additionally, outgoing Trustees and Board Members are recognized.
