Have you ever wondered what goes on at the Palatine Township? With six departments--- from Assessor’s and Clerk’s Offices, Highway Department and Transportation, to General Assistance and Outreach programs--- there are lots of ways in which the Palatine Township is here to serve you! As business and community leaders, it’s important to know the resources that are available to you, your employees, neighbors, and friends. We’ll talk about the ways in which the Palatine Township is hard at work in the community serving township residents.

Educational Presentation:

Come and explore what it means to lean in, "lean on" and thrive in your chosen field. Some topics for exploration will be: marketing your skills, not just your business; using the strengths of leadership; seeing opportunity when others see problems.
Dr. Jo Ann Pallay has been a business coach, consultant and trainer for the past eleven years. Jo Ann sees women in business from a unique perspective personally and professionally. She says, "The Feminine Mystique? No! We're way past that. Women in business are truly amazing!"
