General Info

Founded in 2017, FDG is a non-partisan, independent, collaborative group of volunteers who work to promote a vibrant downtown for all to enjoy.

FDG is governed by a Board of Directors elected annually by the membership. The Board is supported by committees composed of ongoing dedicated members. Our events and activities are conducted by at-large volunteers under the guidance of the Board and Committee leads.

We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with events, our newsletter, volunteer management and more. Volunteers can select their level of involvement based on interest and their availability. Sign up at https://downtownglenview.org/

Dues is $25 for Board members and ongoing general members. At-large volunteers are not required to pay dues.

The Board meets quarterly. The Board, committees and membership meet as a group monthly. Monthly meetings are open to the public. Committees may also schedule additional meetings as needed for special projects.
