Sandwich Park District Vacancy on Board of Directors

The Sandwich Park District announces a vacancy on the board for the office of commissioner. The vacant seat is due to expire in 2023 at which time the person appointed to the position will be required to run for election. Those interested in filling the position must be a Park District resident for at least one year and should submit a resume to the Sandwich Park District office, 1001 N. Latham St. Sandwich, IL 60548.

The Sandwich Park District would like to announce that petitions are available for Sandwich residents who are interested in running for election to the Board of Directors in April, 2023.  The Park district is seeking candidates for three positions on the ballot for its seven-member Board.

Park District Board members, called Commissioners, are elected in the Spring elections alternately every two years. These are unpaid volunteer positions. The purpose of the Park Board is to develop official policies of the Park District and to oversee all activities carried out by its Director and other staff. One stipulation on Board membership is that any candidate must be a registered voter living within the Sandwich city limits (because the Park District boundaries are the same as the city) for at least a year.

Any community member who might be interested in running to fill an open spot is encouraged to contact Bill Novicki, Executive Director at 815-786-8044 ext. 226 or any current Board member listed on our website at https://sandwichparkdistrict.org/admin/board-of-commissioners/

The Park Board meets at 6:30 PM on the second Wednesday of each month, and any interested parties are encouraged to attend a meeting to see what business is conducted. Please call the office or check the website to confirm meeting dates and times.
