Supervisor

JAN SUTHARD SUPERVISOR   
As supervisor I serve as the CEO and Treasurer of the Township. It is my job to administer general assistance to the residents of Benton Township. It is always the Township's desire to assist our residents whenever possible.  If for any reason, the Township cannot meet our residents immediate needs; referrals are provided to other agencies. Applications for general assistance are available at the township office.

"Communicating with you" is my motto. I strongly encourage all residents of Benton Township to call me with any questions, concerns, or ideas about our township.  One way to communicate with me is via this web site.  Please feel free to email me to share your ideas and comments.

The Village of  Winthrop Harbor and Village of Beach Park's Newsletters are an additional source of information for Benton Township residents as well as the Zion Benton News. 

 As Supervisor, I am involved in many community organizations such as

• Charter member Coalition for Healthy Communities
• Zion Area Chamber of Commerce Board Member
• Winthrop Harbor Chamber of Commerce Member
• Vice President of Community Resources for Education and Wellness (CREW)
• Charter member Partners for Enriched Communities
•  Advertising Specialty Institute Member
•  Meals on Wheels, Volunteer
