Village president, trustees, clerk sworn in for second term On Tuesday, June 15, The Honorable Judge Elizabeth Ciaccia–Lezza administered the Oath of Office for the recently-elected Village officials. They included: Village President Frank DeSimone, Village Trustee Ann Franz, Village Trustee McLane Lomax, Village Trustee Armando Perez, and Village Clerk Nancy Quinn. All are currently serving their second term in their
positions. This was the first full in-person Village Board Meeting without restrictions since the pandemic began in March of 2020. In his presidential remarks, Village President Frank DeSimone thanked the community for its support. “First and foremost, I would like to thank the community for believ-
ing in us four years ago, believing in us two years after that, and then believing in us once again,” he said. “It is an honor to sit up here and to represent the people of Bensenville, the businesses of Bensenville, and everybody that comes through our town every year.” DeSimone also recognized the strength of the community during the pandemic.
“Even though the pandemic hit us a couple of times, it didn’t knock us down,” he said. “We have huge plans ahead of us, we are not stopping, and we are not resting on our laurels right now. We will move forward, we will bring new businesses to town, we will improve us as fast as we can and get back to normal as fast as we can.” Village Trustees Franz, Lomax,
Perez, and Clerk Quinn began their first term in May of 2017. They have remained very active in the community serving on various boards and can often be seen throughout the year at Village sponsored events. The newly re-elected sworn-in Village board members were joined by their family members as well as Village staff and community members who attended the ceremony.
