The Cook County Board will conduct interviews with their top four candidates for the County Administrator position starting at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, June 16, 2025. Approximately one hour has been allotted for each interview. The interviews will take place in the Commissioners Board Room in the County Courthouse. The public is welcome to attend and observe.

The interviews will be recorded and made available after the interviews are completed on Monday afternoon for those who are unable to attend. The interviews will not be livestreamed. The public will have Monday evening and all-day Tuesday to watch the videos and provide input. The Management Advisory Team (MAT) will provide the Board with their recommendations during that period.

The Board will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, June 18 at 1:30 p.m. to discuss the interviews.

A decision may be made to extend an offer for the position of County Administrator.
