New Trier Township

Winnetka, IL

Gail Eisenberg

Supervisor

Pledge Summary

New Trier Township’s mission is to provide leadership, advocacy, and resources to benefit the physical, mental, and social well-being of residents. Established in 1850, New Trier Township government serves more than 60,000 residents in the villages of Glencoe, Kenilworth, Wilmette, and Winnetka, plus portions of Glenview and Northfield east of Harms Road and Northfield Road. In February 2025, the Board of Trustees voted to adopt the Mayor's Monarch Pledge for the third year in recognition that one of the Township's earliest roles, addressing "noxious weeds," may have contributed to a misunderstanding of the importance of native plants to our pollinators and greater ecosystem.
