Susanna Steilen

For Village Trustee


Susanna “Sue” Steilen moved to the Homer Glen area 27 years ago before the village was incorporated. Sue and her husband Gary loved the rural character and proximity to Chicago and their family in the western suburbs as well as the access to a great library and a park for their two sons.

Sue has held administrative and marketing positions for several office technology corporations throughout the region, and she has worked as naturalist at the Joliet Park District's Pilcher Park.

When Homer Glen was incorporated in 2001, Sue was appointed to the Parks and Environment Committee and received the Outstanding Volunteer of the Year award from the Village in 2003. She co-authored the Green Grant application and served on the Green Grant Steering Committee. Sue has also served as a Volunteer and Staff Liaison for Homer Harvest Days; co-coordinated Earth Day/Arbor Day events; and she has served as Staff Liaison for the Homer Community Festival Committee and the Environment Committee.

In addition, Sue has volunteered for the Homer Glen Junior Woman’s Club; La Leche League International; the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA); Parent and Child Education Society; and she has served as an AYSO Soccer Team Mom; Joliet Area Homeschool Bowling League Coordinator; Eastern DuPage for Godly Education Gym and Enrichment Coordinator and the clerk at Homer Congregational Church as well as a 4-H leader.

In 2010, Sue went to work for the Village of Homer Glen. During her tenure at the Village, she served as an administrative assistant, a Community Relations Coordinator, and the Community Events Coordinator. She resigned from the Village in October of 2022. She currently is the Executive Director of the Illinois Recycling Foundation and Illinois Recycling Association.

Sue is running to preserve Homer Glen’s “open spaces,” and family friendly focus.
