Celebrating 21 Years as Barrington’s Signature Magazine
Celebrating 21 Years as Barrington’s Signature Magazine
ON THE COVER:
Barrington residents Mary and Curt Behrens lead our May/June issue with a growing portfolio of businesses rooted in craftsmanship, connection, and a shared sense of purpose. They are joined by fellow creators Alex Campbell, Traci Sanders Campbell, GiGi Gianni, Elizabeth and Peter Grubbe, Laura Haver, and Anthony Lachus.
Together, these local entrepreneurs reflect the enduring spirit of independence, creativity, and hard work. Through quality craftsmanship, unique talents, and time-honored traditions, each is building something meaningful. We asked them to share the vision and inspiration behind the businesses and ideas they’ve brought to life.

QUINTESSENTIAL PERSON®
Karen Lambert doesn’t describe healthcare as a job. She calls it a privilege.
Lambert arrived at Advocate Good Shepherd in 2000 as VP of Operations and, within a year, became the hospital’s fourth president. She describes the promotion as timing and luck. Others saw it differently. Leaders at Advocate Health Care recognized her ability to lead at scale and made the decision quickly.
