2025 Annual Meeting
Landmarks Illinois held its 54th Annual Meeting on June 24, 2025, a free virtual gathering of members and preservationists from across Illinois. Members have the opportunity to elect Landmarks Illinois’ Board of Directors who are governing at a pivotal time in the organization’s history as we begin to implement our Transformational Plan. Hear an Annual Report from our Chief Operating Officer, Frank Butterfield, about what members’ support has made possible this year including our advocacy successes, grants and loan recipients, preservation easements, networking gatherings and other organizational activities. Our featured presentation focuses on federal government actions that are affecting historic preservation across Illinois, including regulatory challenges, staff cuts and cuts to grants and incentive programs. President and CEO Bonnie McDonald will review what has occurred, what more is anticipated, what preservationists can do to during this volatile period and what Landmarks Illinois is doing to support our community. The Annual Meeting is a free, virtual program open to everyone, but only dues-paying members can vote for the board member Slate of Candidate.
