Community Mourns The Loss Of Alan Goldberg

It is with a deep sense of sadness we share the news that former New Trier Township Supervisor Dr. Alan Goldberg of Wilmette has passed away after a long, courageous battle with cancer.

For over twenty years Alan served the township as a volunteer committee member, trustee and Supervisor from 2017-21. His leadership and experience as an advocate for people with disabilities positively impacted the lives of many in this township and beyond. Until his passing, Alan served as a director of UCP Seguin, a Cicero Illinois based organization that advances independence and promotes inclusive opportunities for thousands of children and adults with disabilities.

At the May 16th inauguration of township elected officials, Alan received a lifetime achievement award from his long-time colleague and friend, Trustee Stefan Mozer. The board voted to rename the New Trier Township board room in Supervisor Goldberg’s honor.

Township Supervisor Gail Schnitzer Eisenberg stated, “Alan was always the consummate business professional, thoughtful with criticism, and generous in his praise of quality work. We are grateful for the difference Alan Goldberg made in this township, and wish to express our deepest condolences to his wife and daughters.”
