Voices of Community Leaders

Janet Agnoletti
Executive Director
Barrington Area Council of Governments

“We are a community that thinks as a region and works for our future. Creative minds and energy over many years produced the unique and very charming greater Barrington area, defined by its excellent services, upscale shopping, diverse housing and unparalleled environmental features. It’s the same regional spirit and commitment to cooperate – by local officials who are very ‘in touch’ with each other and with their residents – that guarantee a terrific future.”

Karen Darch
Village President
Village of Barrington

“Barrington is a great place to live, work and play because the people who live here care about their community. Whether it’s philanthropic giving to our many charities or the local and regional food pantries, pitching in to clean up roadways, rescue plants, build a rookery or save a prairie, or supporting local eateries, businesses, the Farmers’ Market or the many fun community and family events – the people of Barrington do so with gusto.”

Gene Dawson
Supervisor
Barrington Township

“The Barrington community of residents/businesses have the distinct opportunity of living and working in a rather unique community that has traditionally been known for its ability to foster healthy relationships and partnerships, all with one common and united goal, for the betterment of the community. We are all united in our desire to make the Barrington region the best it can be.”

Mike Head
Village President
Village of Port Barrington

“We are a small community surrounded by the waters of the Fox River to the west and beautiful forest preserves to the south. We tend to cater to the recreational crowd with marinas and restaurants on the Fox River. As for the Village itself, we have multiple parks used by baseball and football leagues, and we continue to promote activities for the kids. Our Village Board takes their responsibility to the residents very serious as far as our duties to provide services and a safe place to raise a family. We do like what the surrounding communities offer as far as small business shopping, recreation and the hometown feel that you get when visiting there.”

Kathleen O. Leitner
Village President
Village of Tower Lakes

“The residents of Tower Lakes enjoy the verdant beauty of our quiet community as well as a unique camaraderie with our neighboring communities born out of a shared passion for outdoor living and protection of local natural resources. In fact, it is that passion that unites the Barrington area and serves as the focus for community and business leaders here. As the Tower Lakes representative to, and current chairperson of BACOG, I have the distinct pleasure of serving alongside the Barrington area Village Presidents and Township Supervisors to further those goals and keep the Barrington area such a wonderful place to live.”

David Nelson
Supervisor
Cuba Township

“If you read about Barrington, you might note the great schools, the incomparable open space and horse trails, and the charming and thriving downtown, but in the 38 years that I have called Barrington home, the thing that really matters is the quality of the people who have chosen to live and work here. This community continues to amaze me day in and day out with their kindness and compassion.”

Kevin Richardson
Village President
Village of Lake Barrington

“Living and working in the Barrington area is a treasure because it offers the best of many worlds. Our region’s elegant, countryside way of living combines with its rich history and culture to create a truly bucolic lifestyle that is unique in the metro Chicago area. Moreover, our region is privileged to be home to world-class leaders in healthcare, transportation, technology and finance. This provides us with a strong economic base and a position from which to win long-term success and prosperity for our residents. Adding to all of this is our proximity to one the world’s great cities and the amenities it offers. When taken in sum, the Barrington region truly ‘has it all’ for people and businesses to live, grow and prosper.”
