Pihos Perspective: Upcoming Events in the 48th District

Providing a high level of constituent service and communication is important to me. I would like to invite you to attend several of my upcoming events in the 48th District. Next week, I will be hosting two advisory groups: Education, and Aging & Senior Issues, and a District Office open house. Also, the DuPage County Job Fair is quickly approaching, if you or someone you know is interested in attending please contact my district office.

Education Advisory Group
When: Wednesday, March 12th 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Where: Hadley Junior High School, 240 Hawthorne Boulevard, Glen Ellyn

All are welcome to join for an overview and round table discussions on education at every level, including:

· Current trends in education
· Education funding
· Legislation moving forward
· Open Discussion
· Questions & Answers Session

Also in attendance will be Peggy Agnos, Executive Director of LEND, (Legislative Education Network of DuPage County) a legislative group representing DuPage County school districts serving 170,000 children. It was formed in 1980 to serve the needs of the districts on a local and statewide level. The LEND Council meets monthly. The decision-making body of the organization includes administrators, school board members and parents from member districts.
