ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Chairman

William (Kush) Kushner ('71)

Bill's accomplishments include twenty-nine years with the Chicago Police, four years as Chief of Police for Berwyn, two years of Chief of Police for Lakemoor, and eight years as Chief of Police for Des Plaines.

Bill, a resident of Darien, is married with two children and five grandchildren. You can usually catch him writing or reading when he's not cheering on his beloved White Sox.

TERM - 8/1/21-7/31/24

President

Tom Gavin ('67)

TERM - 8/1/22-7/31/25

Vice President

Kelvin Lovely ('78)

Kelvin's leadership started at Mendel as an NHS student senate member, so it's no surprise his career includes over thirty-seven years of experience managing HR departments for multi-billion dollar companies. He majored in Human Resources at Marquette and is currently living in Westchester.

Married with two children, Kelvin enjoys traveling, football, and golf. No doubt about it, Kelvin is a Sox fan through and through.

TERM - 8/1/22-7/31/25

Treasurer

Pat Regan ('68)

Pat has been a numbers guy since day one. He majored in accounting at DePaul, received his MBA from Aurora University, and achieved his CPA in 1977. Anyone that knew Pat in High school, it is no surprise that his career would lead to CFO, COO, and CEO of influential companies.

Now retired and living in Wheaton, Pat is married with three children. When he has any free time, you can catch him on the links or cheering on the Go-Go White Sox.

TERM - 8/1/22-7/31/25

Secretary

Mike (Zeke) Dreznes ('68)

Mike has made the world safer due to his forty-plus years in the road safety industry. However, making the International Road Federation a household name is not his most remarkable accomplishment. His greatest achievement was convincing his high school sweetheart Margaret to stay married to him for over fifty years. Mike is a proud father to three and grandfather to ten. Mike is now living in the South Loop, so you can still find him perusing S. Michigan Ave. looking for the best beef sandwich in Chicago.

Mike is a graduate of Loyola and earned his MBA from DePaul. His frustrations as a baseball fan are evident since he can't decide if he loves or hates the Cubs and Sox equally.
