Ruth Alderman Schlossberg has been appointed to her third term on the Illinois State Bar Association Local Government Law Section Council. Schlossberg now has served the ISBA — a 33,000 member organization — in this role since 2012.
Currently, there are 28 members on the council including practicing lawyers, judges, government consultants and individuals employed by state and local government.
The mission of ISBA Local Government Law Section is to:

- make recommendations on legislation
- develop and communicate ideas to improve the functioning of units of local government.
With Richard G. Flood, Schlossberg co-authored the book Congratulations! You’ve Been Elected: Now What Do You Do? A Practical Guide to Local Government. The guide, published by the Illinois Municipal League, offers local public officials advice to help them “hit the ground running” and succeed in new leadership positions.
