A true leader, mentor and educator in planning, Scott’s dedication to the profession goes well beyond the doors of Teska.
From starting out in South Bronx, New York with the Comprehensive Community Revitalization Program (CCRP), to leading policy initiatives for the Metropolitan Planning Council in Chicago for 12 years… to joining Teska in 2007. Scott has led community and economic development initiatives in several neighborhoods of Chicago with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), as well as neighborhoods in Bloomington, Illinois; Dubuque, Iowa; and Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. National clients include Habitat for Humanity International (leading over 12 strategic plans), NeighborWorks America, and the City of Greensboro, North Carolina.
Scott has served as the Public Policy Chair of ULI Chicago since 1999, formerly served as chair of the Village of Wilmette Plan Commission, and currently teaches urban policy at Northwestern University’s Masters of Public Policy and Administration program in Evanston.
We are so proud of Scott’s achievements and this most deserving honor and recognition.
Cheers to you, Scotty G!!!
