In January of 2022 we were very saddened by the loss of our dear colleague Ms. Janet L. Smith Ph.D Associate Professor, Urban Planning and Policy Program University of Illinois at Chicago. She served on IHDC's Board of Directors for 20 years and was a fierce advocate for our mission. She will be greatly missed. Below is a link to her Univeristy of Illinois Obituary.
