Go-to Meeting
The new Lodge 7 administration pledged to give members a voice, and that message came through loud and clear during the first general meeting for this visionary leadership team on June 24. Not only did members step up to the microphone to ask questions, they praised the work the new admin- istration has done so far to voice the concerns of all Chicago Police Officers. For more than four hours, the first meeting offered a wealth of information members had not seen in years. It proved to be a big meeting and a big step forward for the new FOP.
