Bell02

Trustee Edward Lezza Jr.

S_Lezza02Eddie, as I am fondly called, was born and raised in Bellwood. I attended Memorial Park Pre-school, St. Simeon Catholic Grammar School, Nazareth Academy Catholic College Preparatory High School and received an Associates Degree in Business from Triton College which were all located in Bellwood and it surrounding suburbs.

I am Vice President of Operations for our family owned business, Lezza Spumoni and Desserts, Inc. of Bellwood. The year 2005 marked our 100th year of business through 4 generations of the family. In addition to my business experience, I have an array of interests and expertise. I served as a Memorial Park District Commissioner from 2001 until 2003 when I was asked to take on the challenge of Trustee for the Village of Bellwood. I am currently Chairman of the Finance Committee and am a member of the Public Safety Committee. I also represent my family business as well as the Village as a member of the Board of Directors for the Bellwood Chamber of Commerce. I am a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus #3671 Assumption Council and belong to the Alhambra Group Santiago Council #169.

Together with the current Village board, we will make Bellwood a community that stands out in the forefront of the western suburbs
