Board of Commissioners

A 21-member elected Board of Commissioners governs your Lake County Forest Preserves. They guide the agency's mission and grant final approval for all land acquisitions, restoration and improvement projects, educational and cultural programs, the annual budget, and other administrative actions. These same 21 Forest Preserve officials also serve as County Board members, overseeing all other aspects of Lake County government.
