Meet our 2025-2026 Board of Directors

President: Jennifer Everett

My name is Jennifer Everett, and I am honored to serve as the President of Foundation46. I’ve been a proud member of the board for the past four years and have loved being part of an organization that supports and uplifts the schools in our district.

My connection to District 46 runs deep. I’m a mom to an 11-year-old son who attends school in the district, and I’ve worked at Grayslake Middle School for the past four years as a Reading Specialist. Before that, I spent over a decade teaching elementary school. As both an educator and a parent, I see every day how important it is to support our teachers, students, and schools with meaningful resources and opportunities.

I first heard about the impact of Foundation46 through my twin sister, Jessica Hofer, and was inspired to get involved. Now, as President, I’m excited to lead efforts that continue to make a difference in our community.

Outside of work, I love being a sports mom, spending time with my family, crafting, going to concerts and playing games with my son. We enjoy walking around Grayslake, visiting our favorite local spots, and traveling whenever we can.

I’m thrilled to continue this journey with Foundation46 and look forward to helping shape a strong, innovative future for District 46.

Director: Shalaigh Koehl

Hi! I’m Shalaigh Koehl and I joined Foundation 46 this year as a Board Member as well as a member of both our Fundraising and Community Awareness Committees. Professionally, I’m a Director of Sales in the Healthcare and Educational industries and I truly enjoy my work. Personally, I live with my husband and four sons, three of which attend D46 schools and one who attends Grayslake Central. While my boys keep me busy with their multiple sports, I also enjoy sand volleyball, adult kickball, boating on the Chain O’Lakes, and attending country music concerts in my “spare” time.

I’ve lived in Grayslake for 16 years and am passionate about our community and the opportunities for our children to learn and grow. I’m excited to help provide fun ways to contribute these opportunities and am looking forward to a successful year with Foundation 46!
