The self-nomination period has ended and the slate of candidates for the three seats on the SWAN Board will be the following. Since there are the three candidates who volunteered for the three open seats, SWAN will not have to conduct an election for the 2025 cycle. Congratulations to the three library directors who will be seated July 2025 (please note, the SWAN Board has not approved its meeting schedule for the FY2026 year).

Ben Weseloh, West Chicago Public Library District

Laura Van Cleve, Richton Park Public Library District

Ridgeway Burns, Itasca Community Library
