Board Chair William Lowry ’84 urges DNC visitors to explore city neighborhoods
Lake Forest College Board of Trustees Chairman William “Bill” A. Lowry ’84 penned a letter to the Chicago Sun-Times, urging visitors attending the Democratic National Convention to venture beyond the Loop and explore the diverse neighborhoods of Chicago.
As a prominent attorney and Cook County Board Commissioner representing the 3rd District, Lowry brings a wealth of experience and a deep connection to the city.
In his letter, Lowry highlights the unique cultural and historical aspects of Chicago's neighborhoods, encouraging DNC attendees to venture beyond the convention’s main venues. He underscores the importance of experiencing the city's vibrant communities, rich heritage, and local businesses.
“This event is not just about logistics and political outcomes. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate how a diverse community can come together and celebrate shared goals.”
Lowry’s call to action is in line with his longstanding commitment to community engagement and cultural appreciation. His leadership roles at Lake Forest College and in Cook County reflect his dedication to fostering connections and promoting the best of what Chicago has to offer.
As the city prepares to host the Democratic National Convention, Lowry’s message serves as a reminder of the value of local exploration and the richness of Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods.
