Celebrating 19 Years as Barrington’s Signature Magazine

May / June 2025 Issue

About This Issue

ON THE COVER: All aboard! Barrington welcomes its new Village President Mike Moran. Like many of us, he appreciates the charm of our town. “I moved to Barrington based on its many great attributes and the character of the town,” he said. “My hope is that we can continue to find a balance that protects the small-town character while being open to thoughtful growth and development.” Learn more about Mike in our cover feature that also beautifully showcases Barrington’s White House and Village Hall.

Thank you, QB, for investing in Barrington and helping us showcase our business in such a beautiful way.

Honoring Dr. Jeff Doles

Jeff Doles is a testament to the value of an education and its return on investment. The first in his family to graduate from college, Jeff’s students recognize and appreciate his exceptionalism—for his caring, encouragement, leadership, team building, and technical skills —yet on top of that, he lifts the people in his classroom to find their voice and express it, to collaborate, push their critical thinking skills, and foster a creative idea or vision.
