Riverwoods Government

The Village of Riverwoods is managed by elected officials, volunteers, and a small paid staff. Having volunteers commit their time, expertise, and energy helps to keep costs low and encourages participation by residents who truly care about this community.

The Board of Trustees is the legislative arm of village government and is made up of six residents serving staggered, four-year terms. The Mayor is the President of the Village Board.  Each trustee chairs committees on key areas of Village responsibility.
