As part of an on-going effort to promote government transparency, the Village of Hawthorn Woods has gathered important government information and put it all in one place for the ease of residents. Our goal is to keep citizens informed about their government by focusing on the following ten points:

1.    Elected and Administrative Officials: Contact Information
 2.    Meeting Information: Calendar, Agendas and Minutes
 3.    Public Records: FOIA Submission and FOIA Officer Contact Information

 5.    Financial Audits
