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 />
