APPOINT-LELAND ANDERS STROM

This bill appoints Leland Anders Strom as a member of the Northern Illinois University Board of Trustees, effective from October 16, 2023, until January 15, 2029. The appointment is made by Governor JB Pritzker with the consent of the Illinois Senate and does not provide a salary, though the nominee is eligible for travel expenses. Strom, who resides in Elgin, Illinois, will join a board responsible for overseeing the governance and strategic direction of the university. This action replaces the previous appointee, Robert Pritchard, and follows a standard legislative process for confirming executive nominations.
