There comes a time in everyone’s life and career to pass the leadership onto the next generation. This is not a sad occurrence but a very happy one as I reflect on the honor of having served in a very noble profession and with some outstanding individuals. I will be celebrating my retirement with a dinner on Saturday, January 24th, 2015. Please save the date and further details will be made available in the near future. Michael A. Holub Public Affairs Director/IL ESGR Congratulations to our Northern Division Secretary, Brian Windle, 249th Session, Illinois State Police who was recently promoted to Captain.

We will endeavor to send out a bi-monthly e -mail “blast” shortly after those deadlines.

Tentative dates for the Retrainer are Monday, November 2 through Wednesday November 4, 2015. The facilities are great, the scenery even better, and resort management is bending over backwards to accommodate our group’s needs. Room prices will be at the same great price contracted for this years’ conference in East Peoria. This is, as most of you know, a premier Illinois resort and the historic town of Galena is just a quick jaunt down the road offering a wide variety of activities besides shopping, fine dining, historic sites . On site, in addition to the normal amenities provided at a world class resort, there will be available hiking and biking trails (22 miles of them), horseback riding, discounted golf (weather permitting). We hope to have informational packets from Eagle Ridge available for distribution to attendees of this years’ conference in East Peoria. Obviously, details are tentative and there will be much additional information published in the coming months as details are finalized at Eagle Ridge.
