President McMenamin
Springfield Ward 7 Ald. JOE McMENAMIN has been elected president of the Illinois Government Bar Association for a one-year term. He was the organization’s founding treasurer in 1987 and was vice president for two terms, from 2013 to this year.
He replaced MICHAEL DELCOMYN, senior counsel at the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, who remains an ex-officio member of the group’s board.
McMenamin said his work in the past for four state agencies lets him know firsthand “the valuable role the GBA performs in creating a forum for public sector attorneys to share their professional concerns and issues with other government attorneys.”
McMenamin spends most of his time on city council business but still has a private law practice. He retired in early 2012 after 30 years with the Illinois Army National Guard.
