HILLARY ZARANTI, Secretary 

I'm Hillary Zaranti, and I've been a member of LGNN since 2021. My husband, John, along with our three kids (Joe - 6, Albert - 4 and Annie - born May 2024) love living in La Grange and walking downtown to experience all the town has to offer. The annual Pet Parade is one of our favorite days of the year and you'll see us parked on our front lawn to watch the event and all its entertainment! Being secretary has allowed me to be a part of this wonderful organization that has filled me with such pride. The work LGNN does to give back to our community and the incredible people who live here is unmatched!

ANDREA KREJCI, Treasurer

Hi!  My name is Andrea Krejci and I am the LGNN Treasurer.  My family moved to La Grange in 2021 after 8 years on the East Coast.  I live with my husband, Jim, sons Declan (7) and Niall (2) and our dog, Gus (15ish?).  I am originally from Metro Detroit and my husband grew up in Hickory Hills.  We love being back in the Midwest and being closer to our families.  Outside of the house, I work in ecommerce, leading the Beauty division for a large retailer.  While I joined LGNN for book club, I've stayed because of all the wonderful women I've met, the friendships that have grown and all the fun events throughout the year!

CAITLIN HARRINGTON, Book Club

My name is Caitlin Harrington and I am the co-chair of Book Club. I joined LGNN in 2022 after moving to the area from Chicago. Book Club has been a consistent source of joy for me because of the lively (and sometimes hysterical) conversations with a great group. In addition to reading, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, crafting, and playing pickleball. My family loves La Grange's community events, restaurants, and parks.  And we love running into familiar LGNN faces around town!

SARA CLAIRMONT, Book Club

My name is Sara Clairmont and I am the Co-Chair for Book Club. I have consistently attended book club for a couple years so stepping in as co-chair has been a great fit! I live in La Grange Park with my husband Joe and our two children. I am originally from Washington state, but have called Chicagoland home for 20 years. We moved to the area from the city in 2016 and am so happy we did! Joining LGNN has been a major part of what I love about this community. I am a social worker with a private practice. In recent years, I have maintained a hybrid practice which has enabled a more flexible schedule to spend time with family and friends. In addition to reading, I enjoy cooking & baking, trying new restaurants, going for walks in my neighborhood and exploring the local forest preserve. 

KAITLIN BUDNY, Charity/Service

Hello, my name is Kaitlin Budny and I am the co-chair of the Charity and Service Committee. I grew up in La Grange and joined LGNN after moving back to La Grange in 2022 with my husband and two sons. I love La Grange’s historic character, charming downtown, and welcoming community. I am very proud to have grown up in and moved back to La Grange. I have been a high school history teacher for the past 15 years and currently teach in Glenview. As my colleagues up in the North Shore will tell you, I am very proud of La Grange and the Western Suburbs!

LISA CORONADO, Empty Nesters

Hello, my name is Lisa Coronado. In 2020, I moved to the charming town of La Grange after spending over 23 years traveling across the country with my husband, John, a career Naval Officer and native of Chicago. Our journeys brought us many adventures, but it was here in La Grange that we decided to settle and call home.  In 2021, when my daughter went off to college, I joined LGNN. I quickly noticed there was a need for a group dedicated to women like myself—those whose children had grown up and left home or were about to. This led to the creation of the Empty Nesters group. Being part of the LGNN Empty Nesters has been a truly rewarding experience. I cherish the moments spent with such wonderful women, who make every gathering special.  Outside of LGNN, I work as a corporate business development consultant and travel advisor. I love discovering new restaurants, exploring new places, reading, and spending quality time with my friends, family, and pets.

HANNAH KROPP, Gourmet

My name is Hannah Kropp and I am the Co-Chair for Gourmet. I joined LGNN in 2023. I’m originally from Minnesota and have lived in Chicago, Philadelphia and New York City, but love calling La Grange my permanent home after moving here in 2020. I live in the historic district with my husband Mike, son Charlie (2) and middle-aged, overweight cat Phoebe. In my professional life, I’m a corporate lawyer, but my true passion is food. I love to cook, bake and (most importantly) eat and am excited to share the joy of bonding over food with LGNN members. In addition to food, I love talking all things books, skin care, celebrity gossip, astrology, hot yoga, Bravo and travel, particularly to US national parks.

DANIELLE KOLB, Ladies & Littles

I'm Danielle, and I'm your Ladies & Littles co-chair. I joined LGNN after moving to La Grange in 2021, from Chicago's Printers Row neighborhood. We love La Grange, and my husband and I are so happy to raise our three children in this wonderful community. I own a wedding planning business, Danielle Kolb Events, and when I'm not spending time with my family or planning Chicago area weddings, I enjoy trying new restaurants, reading, cooking, traveling, and hanging out with old and new friends.

TINA POUPARD, Ladies & Littles

My name is Tina Poupard, and I am co-chair of the Ladies & Littles Committee. I joined LGNN shortly after moving from Lincoln Park in 2022, with my husband and our two daughters.

I'm thrilled to be part of this community and look forward to the nearly monthly events our committee coordinates for members who are in the beautifully chaotic season that is life with little kids.

JENNY TATRO, Newsletter

I'm Jenny Tatro, and I've been sending newsletters for LGNN for the last four years. I also started the LGNN kickball league because I love wearing matching t-shirts and commiserating about losses over a pint of beer. Currently I work at a global ad agency and have been in advertising and PR for about 15 years.  I have lived in La Grange for nine years with my husband, two daughters, and our Boston Terrier. As a native Chicagoan, I love chatting about food, travel, college sports, and the Chicago Bears.

Along with my husband and 2 daughters, we are a family that loves traveling and participating in outdoor adventures. We have an adorable dog named Sal that I love to spoil. I’ve recently decided to improve my gardening skills, and I’m also an avid reader. Being active with the social committee, and becoming a social chair has led to meeting so many amazing women and I love getting to help plan many of  the fun events that LGNN offers. 

KAIT VAN CLEAVE, Social

I'm Kait Van Cleave. I live in La Grange with my husband, Todd, and our three young children. Joining the board as co-chair of the social committee felt like a perfect match for me, as I have always been enthusiastic about connecting with people and seeking opportunities for collaboration.

I have a deep love for animals and Formula 1 racing!

I'm Kelli Williams and excited to join the LGNN board as the Sponsorship Chair! I live in La Grange with my husband (Tom) and two kids - Clara (7) and Colin (6). We moved here in 2019 from Oak Park and love it. I work at a boutique sports and entertainment consulting firm where I lead the custom research team. The role of Sponsorship Chair at LGNN felt like a natural fit, given my extensive experience in sports sponsorship consulting. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends, reading, taking long walks with coffee and a podcast, traveling, and exploring new hobbies (I'm the friend who is always up for taking a random class!) 

ERIN PRINDLE, Sunshine

I’m Erin Prindle - your Sunshine chair. I live in the historical district of La Grange with my husband Ryan and our three girls Lila (5), Ada (3) and Mia (1). We absolutely love this community and the warm and neighborly people that make it home. By day, I am a Director of Client Services in the insurance industry. By night, I am a Director of Chaos at home. This doesn’t leave much time for else these days but when those rare moments appear, I love a great cup of coffee, romance novels, cooking healthy meals, wine tasting, meeting up with friends and cheering on my beloved Chicago Bears. I have been a member of LGNN for six years and this will be my third year on the board. I am so inspired by this amazingly talented group of women and am honored to have a little piece in it. I look forward to continuing in my role of celebrating and supporting our members through life’s joys and hardships.

LAURA NORTHAM, Website

Hi, I'm Laura Northam and I manage the LGNN website.  I live in the La Grange area with my husband, our two children and one cat.  We have been in the area since 2017 and just love it!  I work in advertising (media planning) for a local agency.  I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, watching old TV shows, a good cup of coffee or wine and watching sports, in particular, the Cleveland Browns!  This is my first year on the LGNN board and I'm thrilled to be a part of this amazing group!

NICOLE OESTMANN, Wellness

Hi! My Name is Nicole Oestmann and I am the LGNN co-chair of Wellness. I have lived in La Grange Park with my husband since 2016 along with our four kiddos and Goldendoodle pup, Ginger. We have a daughter at Lyons Township, and a son and daughter at Ogden Ave Elementary. Between work, school and sports our life is what I refer to as a semi-organized circus – crazy and fun mixed into one. I have been a member of LGNN for eight years and this is my third year on the board. This group has been an amazing outlet for me to get out of my routine, meet great ladies, get involved and integrate into our awesome community. I work as a Hybrid Infrastructure Solutions Manager at CDW for the past 21 years, and when I am not working I enjoy time with my family, traveling, reading and a good glass of red wine. 

TIFFANY CASICA, Wellness

Hi, I’m Tiffany Casica, the LGNN co-chair of Wellness. I moved to La Grange Park in the Spring of 2023 along with my CrossFit-loving husband, Phillip, and our 4-year-old son, Parker, who currently attends Kensington. Phillip and I are both Chicago natives thrilled to call La Grange Park home!   I have always loved the historic homes, and renovating our own was truly a dream come true. I received much inspiration and had a network of skilled contractors, as I am a Realtor at Coldwell Banker. I work on a team of women, which is fitting as I am a total girls’ girl! I attended an all-girls high school (Queen of Peace) and enjoy cheering and being inspired by other women. The tribe of thriving and kind women affiliated with LGNN fills my heart and aligns with my soul. I love all things wellness-related. Self-care and the health and well-being of my family are always top priorities. When I’m not reading food ingredients and replacing our current laundry detergent with a safer option, I’m enjoying yoga sculpt, a HIIT class, or making an appointment to get adjusted at the chiropractor or for Botox. Hey, when you look good, you feel good, right?! Find me in a crowd if you ever want to talk about momming, fitness, need a hug, or want to laugh. I look forward to being a trusted friend in this beautiful community.
