2025 LWVCC Annual Meeting
May 6, 2025
Brookfield Zoo Chicago
League Members from across Cook County had a beautiful day to meet in the ITW White Oak Room at the Brookfield Chicago Zoo to plan for LWVCC 25-26 year. New officers were elected, a budget was passed, and the program was approved. A $2 per member PMP was also approved. See the reports of our Interest Groups, details of the approved budget and program, and changes to Where We Stand below.
Our speaker, Dr. Mike Adkesson, President and CEO, Brookfield Zoo Chicago, began his talk by thanking the League for its support of the Forest Preserve Referendum in 2022. The Zoo resides on Forest Preserve land and the additional funds the Zoo receives are going to much needed infrastructure projects like updates to roofs, HVAC, and trucks.
The Zoo's Next Century Plan includes some amazing projects that will let visitors make connections to the natural world. The exhibits, such as the Tropical Forest and Seven Seas, will be immersive ecosystems creating more natural environments for the animals and the visitors. To read more about his talk, click HERE.
