We’re excited to welcome Tess Lewandowski as the newest member of the La Grange Business Association team, stepping into the role of Member Relations & Events Associate!
A proud La Grange local and recent graduate of Illinois State University, Tess brings both a hometown perspective and fresh energy to the LGBA. With a degree in Political Science and History, Tess has built a foundation rooted in community, service, and organization — all of which shine through in her work.
She has a passion for building relationships and making events feel seamless, whether she’s coordinating up to 12 simultaneous programs at the Bone Student Center or supporting members through strategic outreach. Her past experience includes working with nonprofits and grassroots campaigns at both the state and congressional level, where she mobilized voters, led outreach efforts, and developed a deep appreciation for the power of listening.
Most recently, at Rockpile Strategies, she transformed complex data into insights that informed nationwide initiatives — a skill she’ll bring to our work in supporting La Grange businesses. Organized, approachable, and solution-oriented, Tess is ready to help our members connect, grow, and thrive.
We’re thrilled to have her on board — and we know you’ll enjoy getting to know her. Stop by an upcoming event, visit her LinkedIn profile, or just say hi when you see her around town!
