Come meet one of our new members of the Board of Trustees Jaclyn O’Day. Trustee O’Day is a lifelong Palos Park resident and has a wealth of knowledge of local, state, and national politics. She was the Chief-of-Staff for Congressman Dan Lipinski (former Illinois House of Representatives member for 16 years), a leader in several state government agencies, and most recently former Executive Director of the U.S. House Problem Solvers Caucus. We will discuss what made her interested in politics and government, the intersection of politics and public policy, why bi-partisan solutions are important to addressing key issues, and why it’s so hard for Democrats and Republicans to work together.
