Why Not Get Involved?

Lombard’s strong tradition of volunteerism carries over into Village government. Nearly 100 residents
serve on various Boards, Committees and Commissions. These residents provide additional representation between citizens and their elected officials. A brief summary of the purpose of the boards, committees and commissions is included below. Obviously we cannot itemize
all of the activities of each of these groups; however, any questions pertaining to any of these can be directed to the Village President at 620-5712.  Online application...
