New School Board Member Mark Pickett | Chicago News

Mark Pickett, a marketing pro with 20 years of experience and a Lake Forest parent, has been tapped to fill the vacant seat on the District 67 school board—officially confirmed at a June 22 special meeting. Known for simplifying complex topics and deeply engaged in the community through the Lake Forest Caucus, Rotary Club, and youth sports, Pickett brings a unique blend of communication skills and local involvement. His term runs until April 2027, but he’s already eyeing a full four-year term with the Caucus endorsement next year. His appointment follows Timo Berger’s departure in May, when he relocated overseas—though the board didn’t reveal how many candidates vied for the spot.
