Board of Directors and Notable Contributors

Brett has been a contractor for more than forty years. He talked with Van about the library a while ago and thought it was a great idea. As a business owner, he has the experience to get things moving and knows tools well.

Jonathan, along with Van and Brett, founded the committee to establish the Mundelein Tool Library. As a local real estate agent and Mundelein resident, Jonathan was eager to help bring this idea to life. Maintaining the integrity and increasing awareness of the organization through social media is of most importance. Jonathan assists with continued development of online presence to ensure relevant and up to date content. Jonathan identifies and collaborates with business and individual sponsorship opportunities to fund the organization.

Van first brought the idea of a Tool Library in Mundelein to the Village after visiting one in Portland, Oregon, thinking it was a great idea for the community. As others joined him on the committee, he quickly realized that he had a vision, but not the complete expertise to develop the tool library. Through the help of committee members and the support of the Village, he is seeing his idea come to fruition.

Kajal designed, coded, and built the Mundelein Tool Library website from scratch, and is the primary director of other technological aspects of the tool library, ranging from inventory management to donation collection to volunteer organization.
