The nominees for these positions must be members of the ISBA in good standing from the appropriate area. The elected delegates will serve for two-year terms commencing June 2021 at the close of the ISBA Annual Meeting. The delegates will join the ISBA delegation in August 2021 at the ABA Annual Meeting.

Incumbents from Cook County are Russell Hartigan (Western Springs) and Emily Masalski (Chicago).  Incumbents from outside Cook County are John Thies (Urbana) and David Schaffer (Naperville). All are eligible to seek re-election.

In consideration of the current situation and mandates associated with COVID, emergency procedures are being implemented for this year’s nominations. As a result, Nominating Petitions will not be required for this year.
