Oak Park Township was proud to be represented at the Township Officials of Cook County (TOCC) 60th Anniversary Annual Conference last week, which brought together more than 200 township officials, staff, and guests from across Cook County.

Township Supervisor Tim Thomas participated in the panel discussion, Lessons Learned: One Year In, sharing insights and experiences from his first year in office. Marketing & Communications Manager Stephanie Scaletta also participated as a panelist in Moderating Comments on Social Media, discussing strategies for fostering engagement, transparency, and respectful online communication in local government.

We are especially proud to celebrate two members of our team who were recognized for their outstanding contributions:

🏆 Tim Thomas received the Recognition Award for outstanding leadership.

Congratulations to Tim and Kim on these well-deserved honors, and thank you to the Township Officials of Cook County for hosting a successful conference celebrating 60 years of service, collaboration, and leadership in township government.
