One of the most inspiring times of the year are just around the corner. Trees begin to change colors, leaves fall and the weather not to hot or not to cold. Hopefully as we wrap up this season, we can look back at the year behind us and start planning for the year ahead. May the season bring you positive changes and cozy opportunities.

Help us welcome & introduce Kim Zubrickas, our most a recent addition to the MEDC Board.
Kim is an Illinois native born and raised in Orland Park. Kim lived in Northern Michigan for 7 years but she returned to Chicago to take her current position at Buddig in May of 2019. Kim is married with twin sons in college. She holds a Master's Degree in HR from National-Louis University. Kim is a life long learner and has a lot of interests from writing, to directing tv and films along with shopping, interior and fashion design, cooking, exercise, yoga, meditation and yes, an emphasis on shopping was noted twice. Since Covid began she has been walking a 5k virtually and has earned 18 medals doing so. She is amazing and I thought it was time to give her a warm welcome home. We are so happy she has returned and are fortunate to have such an accomplished addition to our Board.
