Lipin to Step Down as Skokie Voice Chair
Founder and chair of Skokie Voice Lisa Lipin will be stepping down from her position come January. She is seeking a trustee role with the village this April.
Some minor and big changes will be happening at Skokie Voice in the coming weeks.
Recently, the group held its annual meeting.
"The annual meeting is a time to connect with membership," said Skokie Voice Chair Lisa Lipin. "It was a brief meeting."
Seymour Schwartz was elected to another term on the board of directors. Rebecca Rubin was elected for the first time as a board director.
Meanwhile, Brian Novak will be resigning from his position as board member on Dec. 31. Both him and Lipin are running as independents for trustee this April.
Lipin will also step down from her current position as chair come Jan. 1, she said. She will still serve as a board director, however.
"I'll still be on the board of directors," she said. "Skokie Voice started off with a dozen people and now we have a couple hundred members."

Skokie Voice was founded by 12 people not by Lipin, alone.
It now has about (only) 100 members.
If she is not straight as a candidate what kind of trustee will she make.

Where in this article does Lisa say she started Skokie Voice? Lisa is a devoted person to making changes in the community, something the other candiate has not done.

Great to see neighborhood people grounded first in community running for elected office. So often especially in Cook County, our candidates and elected officials are rooted in political families or party instead of the communities they seek to represent.
