Running a Village is a dynamic process. In addition to hired staff members, a progressive community is dependent on resident participation. Many in the community volunteer their time and talents in the committees and commissions listed below:
Classes scheduled each year. The Village of Glendale Heights established a CERT Team in 2009 and in 2015, through an Intergovernmental Agreement, Glendale Heights CERT partnered with Milton Township CERT. Milton Township has created a number of similar partnerships with other municipalities throughout DuPage County in a collaborative effort to unite volunteers and offer high level training. CERT prepares residents to help themselves and their neighbors in the event of a disaster. Trained CERT volunteers have the skills to help emergency responders save lives and protect property. Watch for articles in the Village newsletter or on the Village website for the dates and times for the next CERT training program!
