Diane Seiler-Zigrossi, District 7 (D-Lockport)

Diane Seiler was elected to the County Board in 2008 to serve the constituents of District 7. She currently serves on the Executive Committee, Finance Committee, and Public Health & Safety Committee and concurrently serves as a member of the Will County Forest Preserve District and its Finance Committee.  She also serves on the Will County Stormwater Management Planning Committee.

During Seiler’s tenure on the board, she has worked with fellow members to balance the county’s budget while maintaining vital resources and services to residents. Seiler is committed to responsible spending and fully realizes the board must work within a considerably constrained financial environment for the benefit of all Will County taxpayers. In her role on the Public Health & Safety Committee, she has a passion advocating for individuals with disabilities as well as seniors, working tirelessly on their behalf to ensure accessible transportation throughout the county and her district.

“This has always been a very high priority for me,” said Seiler. “Often times, these individuals don’t have a voice in local government. We’ve been working hard, utilizing grant funding to identify gaps in accessible transportation.”

Seiler has also worked hard to improve roads and infrastructure within her district by securing funds for construction. Action has also been taken on property development and zoning, and she has advocated on behalf of constituents’ concerns and support for various projects.

Diane believes in both open as well as transparent government and welcomes the input of the residents she serves. She regularly stresses she is readily available to listen to all feedback and opinions on any issue.

Diane is actively involved in numerous community organizations including having served as Past President of the Rotary Club of Lockport, currently Foundation Chair and Board Member of the Rotary Club of Lemont-Homer Glen, Past President and member of the Homer Township Chamber of Commerce, Board Member of LiliPads SW: Lockport Independent Living Initiative, the Accessible Cities Alliance, Women of the Moose Lodge #1557, the American Legion- Ladies Auxiliary Illinois Unit 0018 and the Legislative Internship Advisory Committee for the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living.

Diane founded Seiler Business and Financial Consultants in 2005 after spending a 28-year professional career in the banking industry working in capacities of management, operations, commercial and consumer lending. Diane is a graduate of the College of St. Francis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Organizational Management. She has four children and four grandchildren.
