Carolyn’s Experience

Two months after her appointment, here’s what the County Board Chairman had to say about Carolyn, her time on the Conservation District Board, and her performance as a McHenry County Board Member:

"The County Board is responsible for approving the Conservation District's annual budget, and as Chairman it is my job to nominate appointments to its Board of Trustees, which must be approved by the full County Board. We'll be doing that again shortly, as one of your former trustees, Carolyn Campbell, so impressed us that we selected her to fill a vacancy on our County Board."

"She's doing an excellent job.”
