See the complete schedule for dates, times, and topics. If you miss a program, you can watch the recording on YouTube. At the February 25 Keeping It Local program, three panelists—Regina Crider, Rantoul Village Board Member; Vanna Pianfetti, Champaign City Council Member; and Diane Wolfe Marlin, former Urbana City Council Member and Mayor—shared their experiences holding elected positions in Champaign County. They provided advice for people considering running for office for the first time and talked about the importance of participating in government. A summary of this KIL panel discussion "Is Now the Time for You to Run for Public Office?" can be found in News and Announcements and the video is available for viewing. We proudly recognize members who have served in public office or appointed positions.
