Hultgren said Gaines has always managed to have just the right temperament for public office.
“Through hard work she has developed multiple festival and business activities, including the Festival of the Vine and the opening of the Geneva Visitor Center,” he said. “Her contributions have made the Chamber of Commerce a vibrant organization and a model for many other chambers throughout the state of Illinois and the country.”
