Dorren is a resident of La Grange Park and has been involved in District 102 for more than twelve years as a parent. She enjoys interacting with the students in the many volunteer opportunities afforded by the PTO, especially as an art mom, mystery reader and member of the Science Center Parent Advisory Council. She has held public office before, serving five years on the library board of trustees, and is in her second term on the vestry of her church.
Dorren’s interest in education stems from her career in museums, and from her lived experience. She’s a lifelong learner who finds sustenance in questioning life around her. She’s thankful to live in an area where residents participate in community life, as evidenced through our vibrant business, not-for-profit, and community organizations.
"Our schools, along with its families, are the gateway to life for our children. I'm honored to be working with the dedicated Board of Education members in supporting the future of our children."
Ms. Gersen-Briand will finish Mr. Thomas' term that ends in April 2021.
