Denice Bocek Appointed as Village Trustee

At the Monday, October 2 Board Meeting, the Village Board approved the appointment of Denice Bocek to serve as Village Trustee to fill the vacancy left by Gregory Pike's resignation on September 19. 

Bocek is a 27-year resident of Buffalo Grove who served on the Village’s Plan Commission for 12 years, including the positions of secretary and vice chairman. In addition, Bocek served on the Sign Code and Appearance Review Team committees.

Following her service on the Plan Commission, Denice has remained actively involved in the community. She championed the pet store ordinance in Buffalo Grove, participated in the review and update of the animal ordinance as well as the Lake-Cook Corridor Plan development and the recent strategic planning community engagement sessions.

Denice also brings over 30 years of experience in commercial real estate construction and development, which President Smith finds particularly valuable as the Village facilitates several redevelopments along its corridors.

"I am confident that Denice will continue the legacy of community service and dedication to Buffalo Grove that Greg has exemplified during his time on the Board," stated Village President Eric Smith. "We are fortunate to have Denice Bocek stepping up to serve our village, and I look forward to working closely with her to address the issues and opportunities facing our community."
