Trustee George E. Duberstein

Personal Note

My entire life has been one of service and I care about this village. I bring to the board expertise, real-world experience and lessons learned as a 27-year U.S. Army officer and decorated Vietnam veteran, as a world traveler with exposure to various cultures, as co-owner of a service-oriented business which saved its clients thousands of dollars, and as an elected and appointed official of a variety of boards and commissions in the various places I have lived, both here and abroad.

I have contributed much time to this village as a volunteer on various projects to its service before becoming a trustee, in some cases saving the village thousands of dollars in the process.

Since becoming a trustee, in addition to my required legislative duties at each board meeting, my accomplishments for the village include:

• Creating and managing the successful annual Civil War Encampment & Battle
• Creating and managing the annual Document Shredding and Recycle Event
• Managing the annual Compost Giveaway Event
• Chairing the project that created a fund to support replacement of the major components of our water system
• Saving the village thousands of dollars that otherwise would have gone to outside contractors by authoring implementation documents for several village projects
• Representing Hainesville on the Lake County Real Estate Rental Task Force
• Representing Hainesville on the SWALCO Board of Directors and its Legislative Committee
• Co-chairing the annual village-wide clean up
• Serving as the Village Board’s Public Works liaison
• Serving as the Village’s Community Activities Advisor
• Giving the speech in military uniform representing the mayor and the village in the 2016 Round Lake Area Memorial Day Parade

If you have any questions or concerns, I would be happy to address them.
