Kevin J. Jackson has been selected by the Village Board to serve as the next Village Manager.
Jackson, who is expected to assume the job on March 21, will be Oak Park’s first Black Village Manager
Jackson, who most recently served as Deputy City Manager for Long Beach, Calif., was one of four finalists interviewed to be Oak Park’s top municipal government administrator. He succeeds former Village Manager Cara Pavlicek who left in August to take a similar position in Northbrook.
Prior to joining the City of Long Beach in 2017, Jackson had spent more than nine years as Neighborhood Services Director for the City of Champaign, Ill.
He holds a Master of Public Administration and undergraduate degrees from Arizona State University. His career in local government spans 25 years.
The Village Manager position oversees all municipal government activities on a day-to-day basis and coordinates the operations of all departments. The Village worked with Northbrook-based executive search firm GovHR USA to conduct a national search for its new Village Manager.
More information on the role and responsibilities of the Village Manager is posted at www.oak-park.us/villagemanager.
