Laura Saret is an outstanding leader who believes in volunteerism.

We are writing this letter to endorse the candidacy of Laura Saret for Highland Park City Council.

We met Laura through her work on our Board of the Volunteer Pool of Highland Park. Laura joined our Board shortly after retiring from Oakton Community College, where she was a professor of business, management and computer technologies. She chaired the computer technologies department and was president of the faculty senate and faculty association (IEA/NEA). As part of her work as Faculty Development Coordinator, she initiated and helped write grants to support the program.

Laura believes in volunteerism and is an outstanding member of our Board who contributes her time, energy, and great ideas. She is a great leader, who listens carefully to diverse viewpoints before making a decision. She has helped us apply for grants, write letters, and connect with the community. Board members respect her ability to listen, her creativity and her willingness to help out whenever needed.

Laura understands the impact that volunteers make to the health and well-being of Highland Park. In addition to serving on our Board, she volunteers on several other local Boards.

We believe that Laura is the best choice to fill the Council seat vacated by Paul Frank. We have seen Laura’s leadership in action. Laura is a caring person, and no issue or problem is too small for her attention if it affects a friend, colleague, or neighbor.
