We moved from District 34 to OLPH this year and instantly fell in love with everything OLPH! This is a school that provides a hugely engaged faculty and parent community, of which we have jumped into with both feet. I have been continually impressed with the level of support and commitment shown by the Board and believe I can help to continue that tradition. I also think it would be great to increase the female representation on the Board.
Bill Macfadden

Family Information
Kilby Cantwell Macfadden-wife
Children: Nora-9 yrs./Gr. 3, Mary-7 yrs./Gr. 2, Tommy-6 yrs./Gr. 1

Number of years in the parish
Kilby and I were married at OLPH in 2007. I went through RCIA that year at Old St Pat’s in the city, and then when we moved back to Glenview in 2011, and I officially became a parishioner at OLPH.
Kilby has been a parishioner since being baptized at OLPH in 1982.

Education Background
B.S.B.A., General Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, 2005
M.B.A., Business Administration, University of Chicago Booth School of Business 2015

Occupation
Senior Trader, Chicago Trading Company

Activities and Interests
Youth Soccer & Basketball Coach, Paddle Tennis, Indoor Cycling, (mediocre) Golf

Experience or Skills that may be useful for Board Committees
•       Currently serving as the Treasurer for the Glenview Public Library Foundation Board
•       AYSO Regional Board Member
•       Former member of the Glenview Long Term Planning Commission

Reasons for wanting to serve on the Board
I have been a part of the Glenview community my entire life. My parents grew up in the area, were married at OLPH, and moved my family to Glenview when I was 4 years old.

Kilby and I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada for 2.5 years for work and during that time our children were in all-day private school. Upon returning to Glenview, we wanted to keep all of them in all-day school, and the easiest way to do that was to enroll them at OLPH. Candidly, when we made that decision, I figured it would be a solution for a year or two and we would move them to District 34 because that is where we went as children.

However, I quickly discovered the spirit of community that makes OLPH so special. Our kids absolutely love going to school each and every day. They are Warriors through and through. I’ve been incredibly impressed with the teachers they have had because these educators are mission driven and truly care about our kids. I value that their school experience is grounded in their faith.

Moreover, the way that the OLPH School community has banded together and responded to the challenges of the last year has inspired me to want to serve.

Simply put, I feel compelled to volunteer to help sustain the institutions that I feel define our community and make it so special. OLPH is without question one of those institutions. I know my unique experiences will enable me to be of service to the school and the school community that means so very much to our family.

Experience or Skills that may be useful for Board Committees
18 years experience in the financial services industry
Certified Financial Analyst Designation, CFA
Master of Business Administration, MBA

Reasons for wanting to serve on the Board
Typical to many young families in the Chicago area, our family made the move from the city to the suburbs in June of 2019. After an exhaustive search we picked Glenview as a community that best matched our family and faith-oriented values. OLPH was a key determining factor in our search as a high-quality Catholic Parish and School was very important to us.

Although we have only been parishioners and school members for a short time, both have impacted our family significantly. Prior to the pandemic, we greatly enjoyed the 9:30am family mass in McDonnell Hall every Sunday where we got to meet other parish families. We also have a neighborhood "OLPH Group" we regularly organize activities with.

All 3 of our children attend OLPH and our expectations have been exceeded from both an educational and cultural standpoint. Our first grader, Charlotte, continues to amaze us with the curriculum she is learning at only the first grade. Patrick, 5-day Pre-K, enjoyed school so much he asked to be enrolled in after school adventures. Pre pandemic, Charlotte enjoyed the basketball clinic and all 3 kids enjoyed the ice cream socials, PJ parties and various other activities we hope to resume when safe.

All 3 kids have made great friends whom they interact with regularly outside of school. Our nanny, Dina, even met other caretakers during the preschool pick up and regularly organizes activities with the kids. We also were extremely impressed and grateful with the way the school handled the challenges presented by the pandemic. Overall, we are committed to OLPH and I would like to participate as a way to give back and ensure the strong culture, education and Catholic values remain in place or potentially strengthen for my children and generations to come.

Raising the awareness that a faith-based education is a viable option, given the many outstanding schools this community has to offer, will be a goal.

Additionally, updating and modernizing our campus will be a central focus as well.
It is always an honor and privilege to serve in a capacity that helps our children grow into creative, unique, spiritual, and caring individuals that can help create a better and stronger future.

My wife, Meg, and I have been active in the parish since 2004, and have had at least one child attend the school since 2008. As a result, we have had the opportunity to meet and become friends with great OLPH parents, see our kids and their friends grow and mature into young adults, and witness all that makes OLPH a phenomenal and wonderful experience. With our last child set to enter 6^th grade next year, Meg and I think now is the perfect time for me to give back to OLPH by serving on the Advisory Board. Having been with the parish and school for over a decade, we have witnessed the challenges the school has faced and understand the challenges the school will face in the future. With business experience, educational background and love for the school, I believe I can help OLPH meet its future challenges and continue to make OLPH a wonderful experience for its parishioners, students and community.

I love the school and it’s one way I can still be involved with the school since my kids are no longer there… and I miss it! I am excited for the opportunity to give back and serve the school community.
Mr. Mark Murnane

Bio
I grew up in Glenview with my four sisters and three brothers. We all attended OLPH school and it is been a bedrock of my life for the past 50 years. My parents were married at OLPH and I remember my dad serving on the school board when Sister Carol was the principal and father McDonnell was the pastor.  To this day, OLPH has remained an incredible institution because of all the people connected to OLPH.

I am married to Cacky and I have four lovely daughters.  My oldest daughter Kiley is finishing up her freshman year at Wisconsin Madison. Grace is a sophomore at Loyola Academy.  Claire is a seventh grader and Kate is a third grader currently at OLPH.  All of my daughters started at OLPH in kindergarten.  It has been very special for me to see my kids grow up and experience all of the  religious and educational benefits that OLPH has to offer.
I graduated from OLPH in 1981 and went to Loyola Academy.  I've always loved sports and was the captain on the Loyola Academy football and basketball teams.  I attended the College of the Holy  Cross in Worcester Massachusetts and graduated in 1989.  After college, I decided to go to law school and returned to Chicago attending  Loyola  University School of Law.  I received my juris doctor in 1992 and became a member of the Illinois bar.  For over 25 years, I have been a trial attorney representing individuals that have been injured.  I really enjoy helping individuals whose lives have been turned upside down due to devastating injuries.  I've coached all of my girls from soccer to basketball. Currently, I am a member of the endowment board for OLPH.

It would be a tremendous honor to sit on the OLPH school advisory board.  I have the upmost respect for Father Boland, Dr. Mills and all of the teachers and support staff at OLPH. I know several members already on the advisory board and would look forward to working with them. OLPH is one of the top schools in the country and the future is bright for this incredible  institution.  I believe I could be an integral part of having open and honest discussions with the members of the board to ensure the continued excellence of OLPH.  There are excellent schools in Glenview and it is vital that OLPH continues to move forward.

Moving four kids into a new school is never easy – OLPH made the transition a success. The six of us feel very fortunate we found OLPH.
