Get to Know Our New Board Trustee, Iliana Gonzalez
At a special board meeting at the end of June, the Library Board appointed a new trustee to fill the seat of Trustee Laima Puzzo, who retired after seven years of service. We warmly welcome Iliana Gonzalez, whose term will run through April 2027.
Your life summed up
I was born and raised in Chicago, and recently moved to Morton Grove. I absolutely love it here! I have worked in education for most of my career and love working in Higher Education. We added a new pup to our pack this summer and have enjoyed all of the shenanigans of Sassy and Jett.
Reasons for wanting to be on the Library Board
I have been looking for meaningful ways to get involved and engage in the community. I also happen to really LOVE libraries and leadership opportunities. I couldn't have dreamt of a better combination and knew I had to throw my hat in the ring. Being a Trustee for any organization or company is a big responsibility. You're providing a special service representing an entire community and staff. It's an opportunity I am very excited about and I am eager to be of service and contribution.
Fun fact
I spent my childhood summers in Puerto Rico with my family and have loved keeping traditions alive through cooking traditional dishes like sancocho and most recently mastering homemade pan sobao!
Favorite place in Morton Grove
The first thing that came to mind were trees. I know that's not a place but the trees here are so beautiful! Okay so back to a real place: Burt's Pizza. Having been raised with all kinds of pizza and deep dish, their pepperoni is the absolute best!
Last thing you check out from the Library
Books and seeds!
