Joe Ferguson '81 begins role as President of the Civic Federation
According to Joe Ferguson '81, he ended up at Lake Forest College by accident. It was a happy accident, though, as his experience at the College prepared him for immense success in his career, from working as an attorney to serving as the Inspector General of Chicago for 12 years, and now working as the president of the Civic Federation.
