Northbrook Park District Welcomes New Commissioners

NORTHBROOK, IL — The Northbrook Park District recently welcomed three new commissioners to the park board, while also saying goodbye to the three outgoing members. Commissioners Edward Chao, Beverly Kumar and David Silverman were sworn in for their first term, and Commissioner Mary Ann Chambers was sworn in for her seventh term at a May 24 meeting. All four won election in April.

According to the park district, the board also elected commissioner Lisa Chalem as president and Commissioner Michael Goodman as vice president for the second consecutive year.

Leaving the board are Matt Curin, who served four years, Michael Ziering, who served 16 years, and Jeff Simon, who served 20 years. The trio did not run for re-election.

“As Jeff, Michael and Matt step away, I sincerely thank them for fulfilling their duties as board members. Each has provided thoughtful insight and strong leadership,” Park District Executive Director Molly Hamer said. “The swearing in of Ed, Beverly, and David last night brings new perspective and skill sets to the board, and we look forward to moving forward together to advance the mission of the Northbrook Park District.”
