BERWYN TOWNSHIP & PUBLIC HEALTH DISTRICT: DECENNIAL COMMITTEE ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY

Volunteer Positions Available

In June of 2022, Governor Pritzker signed the Decennial Committee on Local Government Efficiency Act (50 ILCS 70/1-99) into law. This act mandates that local governmental agencies (or most entities that levy taxes) convene a committee to study local efficiencies and help create a report for the County with any potential recommendations for improving your local government’s efficiency. The Berwyn Township & Public Health District is looking for at least two volunteers from the Berwyn community to join this committee and work with the board to evaluate and potentially improve our efficiency.

Potential members will need to attend at least three meetings in the next 18 months. MUST BE A BERWYN RESIDENT.

Interested Berwyn residents who wish to be considered for this committee should submit their resume before NOON on Tuesday, May 30, 2023 to manager@berwyntownship.org
