Glencoe Village Board (4-year term, vote for 3)<br />
Name: T. Joseph Halwax<br />
Age: 47<br />
Residence: Glencoe<br />
Occupation: Managing<br />
Director, PNC<br />
Past local government/<br />
relative experience:<br />
I have not worked in local<br />
government before,<br />
Halwax<br />
but have experience with nonprofit<br />
board including Evans Scholars and<br />
El Valor. With Evans Scholars I serve<br />
on the alumni committee and with El<br />
Valor I serve on the finance committee<br />
and am the chair of the endowment<br />
committee. Also, at PNC my team in<br />
asset management works closely with<br />
our public finance group, providing<br />
ideas to local nonprofits and governments<br />
around assets and their operating<br />
businesses. These have provided<br />
great experiences that I hope to bring to<br />
the village.<br />

What do you think is the biggest issue<br />
facing your coverage area and how do<br />
you plan to approach it to improve<br />
your constituents’ quality of life?<br />
The Village of Glencoe is a wonderful<br />
place to live and raise a family. The<br />
people who work for the village provide<br />
outstanding services and attention to its<br />
residents. I think one of biggest issues<br />
is making sure that the Village will be<br />
able to afford to continue as such a great<br />
place to live. The state of Illinois has a<br />
litany of fiscal issues facing it that will<br />
have an effect on the financial state of<br />
Glencoe. The Village Board will have<br />
What do you think is the biggest issue<br />
facing your coverage area and how<br />
do you plan to approach it to improve<br />
your constituents’ quality of life?<br />
My goal as a potential trustee is<br />
to maintain and improve the level of<br />
transparency of the board to the constituents<br />
of Glencoe. I would also like to see<br />
more people in the village get involved,<br />
utilizing all of the great channels that are<br />
available to help people know all that is<br />
happening in our community. On a personal<br />
note I believe our village should<br />
remain focused on creating a sense of<br />
community which will have a direct<br />
and positive impact on our constituent’s<br />
lives.<br />
What makes you the best/a top candidate<br />
for this position?<br />
It is an honor to be considered as a<br />
candidate to serve the village of Glencoe.<br />
I have a broad skill set across capital<br />
markets and asset management from my<br />
time at Northern Trust and PNC, managing<br />
client facing teams and with complex<br />
boards as clients. I understand the<br />
complexities of boards and the need for<br />
collaboration and transparency. My best<br />
attributes are that I am authentic (what<br />
you see if what you get) honest, ethical,<br />
with no personal agenda for this position.<br />
Glencoe is a wonderful village and<br />
has been a great place to raise my family<br />
for the last 10 years. I want to do my part<br />
to help keep it the special place it is for<br />
decades to come.<br />
to help navigate potential reductions<br />
in revenue received from the state. I<br />
plan to approach this issue by making<br />
sure Glencoe is prepared for the changing<br />
environment by discussing and<br />
planning for contingencies that could<br />
negatively affect Village finances.<br />
What makes you the best/a top candidate<br />
for this position?<br />
My experience as investment advisor<br />
and Village Trustee prepares me<br />
well for the planning aspect of Village<br />
finances. In my career, I work with investors<br />
to help them meet their financial<br />
goals through personalized investment<br />
management and financial planning. In<br />
my role as Village Trustee for the last<br />
four years, I have used that experience<br />
to help the Village plan for its own specific<br />
financial goals and needs. I think<br />
the combination of experiences prepare<br />
me well for the next four years as a<br />
Village Trustee.<br />
