Annette Parker takes over as Forest Preserve Board president
Parker of Crest Hill, who succeeds Meta Mueller of Aurora, will serve a one-year term.
Annette Parker of Crest Hill took over in December as president of Board of Commissioners for the Forest Preserve District of Will County.
She will serve a one-year term. She succeeds Meta Mueller of Aurora.
During a Board reorganization meeting in December 2022, it was decided by Board commissioners that Parker and Mueller would share the two-year presidential term, with Mueller serving first and Parker serving second. The term was split because there is a tie between Democrats and Republicans on the 22-member Board. Mueller is a Democrat and Parker is a Republican.
