Brian Brock, Commissioner, Berwyn Park District Board of Commissioners. Brian is currently an account executive with IBM Watson Health, with a 25-year career in digital health solutions. He has a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Michigan. Brian was first elected to the board by Berwyn voters in 2017. He was elected to serve as President of the board in 2022. In this capacity, he is responsible for signing contracts and consulting the board and Executive Director on strategic initiatives for the park district.
Brian first ran for a commissioner role to change a long-standing park policy that restricted dogs from entering Berwyn parks. In his first couple of months, he worked with the board to implement new regulations allowing for dogs to access parks with their pet parents. Brian also suggested changing all single-use restrooms throughout the district to be gender-neutral. He is an advocate for beautiful public spaces that benefit our community, is passionate about promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in park district employment policies and community programs.
Brian has resided in Berwyn since 2012 with his partner/husband David. Brian was born/raised in Holland, Michigan where he developed his love for spring-flowering bulbs and historic preservation. The couple is currently renovating their 1929 corner bungalow while trying to keep their dogs from destroying the many perennials and woody ornamentals they have planted. He loves the passion Berwyn residents demonstrate for their homes and our community overall.
