Glenview Lions Club Names First Female President

The Glenview Lions Club has its first female president.

Connie Branstrom was named to the post earlier this month, according to the Glenview Lantern. She is the first woman to be named president in the club’s 66-year history.

Branstrom is the Healthcare Outreach coordinator for Brandel Health & Rehab at Covenant Village of Northbrook, according to the Glenview Journal. She has been involved with the Lions Club for eight years.

“After asking to join, attending a few meetings, I decided that my nursing background made a good fit,” said Branstrom, a lifelong Glenview resident.
