Election 2013: Glen Ellyn Park District Board of Commissioners

When voters head to the polls on April 9, they will have the chance to vote to fill four park district board seats.

In April, terms expire for board commissioners Ron Aubrey, Melissa Creech, Gordon J. Kinzler and Julia Nephew. Aubrey is the only board member not seeking re-election. Glen Ellyn resident Vanessa Pierce is the fourth candidate running for a seat on the board, according to the Glen Ellyn Park District.

The board is comprised of seven unpaid volunteers. The board members represent the district’s 35,000 residents in Glen Ellyn, parts of unincorporated Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, Lombard and Wheaton, according to the Glen Ellyn Park District. The terms for the three other board members — Kathy Cornell, Richard Dunn, and Gary Mayo — continue through April 2015.

 The candidates as they will appear on the April 9 ballot:

• Vanessa Pierce
• Gordon J. Kinzler
• Melissa Creech
• Julia Nephew
