Officers and Directors of The Public Access Project
Revised, November 1, 1996.
Officers and Directors of Public Access
Using the model commonly adopted by many civic organizations, Public
Access is governed by an Operating Board of Directors with the advice of
an Advisory Board of Directors. The Boards are currently in formation.
While persons who are currently public officials (or active candidates
for office) are ineligible to serve on the Operating Board, they may serve
on the Advisory Board. Public Access is made carefully non-partisan by
being governed by Boards which are scrupulously designed to be thoroughly
multi-partisan. In addition, Public Access attempts to be fully sensitive
to all segments of the Illinois community through a Board membership of
noteworthy cultural and ethnic diversity. Board recruitment remains ongoing.
Below is a listing of the persons who have volunteered to serve on the
Boards to date. The affiliation listed is for purposes of identification
only and does not necessarily imply an endorsement of Public Access by
their employer.
