Skokie Mayor Wins ICCTA Ethical Leadership Award
The Hon. George Van Dusen, mayor of the Village of Skokie and adjunct faculty at Oakton Community College, is the recipient of the Illinois Community College Trustees Association's 2007 Gary W. Davis Ethical Leadership Award.
In his more than 30 years of public service as a congressional aide, village trustee, and mayor, Van Dusen has demonstrated a strong commitment to open and inclusive government. As an example of his ability to handle tough ethical dilemmas with grace and creativity, Van Dusen once acknowledged the Ku Klux Klan's right to gather in Skokie, but urged residents to assemble at another location on the same day for a "peace and harmony" convocation.
Established in 2005, the Gary W. Davis Ethical Leadership Award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the pursuit and support of ethical leadership and decision-making in their fields of work and volunteer service. Additional winners of the 2007 award include Margaret D. Hamilton, manager of the Older Adult Institute, College of DuPage; Stephen Kubiczky, former Triton College trustee; and Linden Warfel, trustee at Parkland College. The award is named for retired ICCTA executive director, Gary Davis.
Van Dusen was honored with the 2007 Gary W. Davis Ethical Leadership Award during the ICCTA's recent annual convention in Springfield. The ICCTA is a statewide organization created in 1970 as the voice of the state's community college boards. ICCTA membership is comprised of trustees from every public community college district in Illinois.
