LAURA TESTA, President
Hi, my name is Laura Testa and I am honored to serve as President! I'm originally from the northern suburbs and lived in Chicago before coming out to the LaGrange area with my husband, John, and daughter, Lillian. I joined LGNN in 2020 and the Board in 2021, previously serving as chairs of Charity/Service and Membership. I work for a local healthcare system as an attorney. In addition to family time, I enjoy volunteering with the Ogden PTC, reading (shout out to LGNN book club!), date nights/girls nights out, Peloton, attending sporting events/concerts/musicals, traveling, and watching ridiculous reality TV.
NICHOLE VEIHMAN, President Emeritus
I am Nichole Veihman and I am the President Emeritus of LGNN. I am raising 3 little girls, Vivienne 9, Jane 6, and Ellen 4, here in La Grange with my husband Justin and our puppy Pearl. I have a strong love for La Grange - from the historic homes, to the bustling business district, and of course the amazing community. I am a real estate agent with @properties here in the Western Suburbs and I love helping people find not just the perfect home, but also the right town. I am a Barre3 fanatic, I enjoy cooking and am an adventurous eater and grew up on the beach in IN, so I am a beach bum at heart. Fun Facts - I played golf in high school and was a costume design/sewing major in college!
TESS WEBER, Vice President
Tess lives on LG Road with husband Ryan and two kids Blake (age 7) and Brooks (age 4). Tess does freelance marketing and social media with her company Tess Weber Social Co. Tess moved to La Grange 4 years ago from Pittsburgh, PA but resided in the Florida Keys most of her childhood. Tess was a 3rd grade teacher for 10 years but now finds working at home a lot more manageable with her two kids.
Her daughter Blake attends Cossitt Elementary in first grade and her son Brooks attends Rush Pediatrics for Foundations Autism Preschool as well as Barnsdale Preschool in the afternoon. Tess enjoys reading fantasy novels in her spare time and shopping the sale room in Vintage Charm.

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!

My name is Jess Landis, and I am co-chair of the Charity and Service Committee. My husband, Glenn, and I moved to La Grange in 2021, with our daughter Natalie (5) and our rescue dog Ferris (100+ black lab!) I am originally from Ohio and moved to Chicago after studying at Ohio University, almost 20 years ago. Chicagoland is definitely home and now, living in La Grange, we really feel like we have found a wonderful home to plant our roots and, most importantly, many opportunities to give back to the community. I have worked for EY for 10 years, and when I'm not at work, you can find me spending time with my family exploring La Grange, at a local park, gardening, baking, and watching anything on Bravo. (What can I say -- it's my guilty pleasure!)

I have been a high school history teacher for the past 15 years and currently teach in Glenview.

LISA CORONADO, Empty Nesters
My name is Lisa Coronado, and I moved to La Grange in 2020, after enjoying more than 23 years moving around the country with my husband, John who was a career Naval Officer. With all of our children officially out of the house, daughter Julia, 21, a senior at the University of Iowa; nephew Louie, 27, living in Tampa, FL; and niece Tanya, 31, living in Brookfield. I started the LGNN Empty Nesters group in 2021, as a way to meet other La Grange-area women in the same life stage adapting to life without kids to tend to. I'm co-chairing Empty Nesters with Josie Giovanelli, and we are having a great time meeting and socializing with some amazing women! Outside of LGNN, I'm an environmental engineer working in business development for a worldwide engineering firm. I love to eat, drink, read, travel, and have recently developed an addiction to Tik Tok.

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

NICOLE OESTMANN, Wellness
Hi! My Name is Nicole Oestmann, and I am the LGNN co-chair of the Wellness Committee. I have lived in the LaGrange area with my husband for the past five-and-a-half years along with our four kiddos – two teenagers and two toddlers. 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 the past five years with this year being my first time 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 19 years, and when I am not working I enjoy time with my family, the outdoors, traveling and a good glass of red wine. I love to meet new people and look forward to getting together more often again in person (hopefully soon!)
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.
