 I began my career in 1989, with my first assignment in District 1 patrol. While in District 1 was an F.T.O., Crowd Control instructor, C.A.T. Instructor, Motorcycle Officer, and Cadet assessor, among other things. In 1999 I was assigned to investigations as a narcotics agent in Zone 2. In 2000 I became a Technical Investigator assigned to the T.I.U. unit. I am currently an E.C.S.O. III certified T.I.U. agent working out of the Zone 2 Rockford/Sterling offices.
Prior to being elected as your 1st Vice President I was a Trustee representing District 1 for 13 plus years. I served as the Chairman of the Constitution and By-Laws Committee and as a member of the Steering Committee, and Contract Negotiations Team. I have attended State and National Conferences, as well as having attended training in Basic Contract Negotiations and Advanced Contract Negotiations, Grievance and Arbitration Resolution and Leadership courses offered by the Grand Lodge. I believe in Troopers Lodge 41 and promise to represent all members of our union, whether active, retired, patrol, investigations or one of the many specialties. I thank you for your support. I will listen to the needs and wants of the entire membership and promise to help bring transparency to this organization. Remember Troopers Lodge 41 is your union all of your Lodge Trustees and Officers come from our ranks. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail at mpowell@iltroopers41.org.
Mark has been a active and vocal member of Troopers Lodge 41 for over 30 years. Mark began his career as a Lodge Officer as District 7 Trustee and is proud to say he served more years in that position than any other trooper from the District. Mark also served as Lodge Secretary where he gained a well earned reputation as a hard nosed union man and a tough negotiator for the rights of all Lodge members. Unlike some Lodge Officers, who were more company men than union men, Mark left his position as Lodge Secretary and went back to work as a District 7 Trooper, never imagining to cut a deal for special pay or privileges. Mark was proud to be rewarded for his loyalty to the Lodge by being elected 2nd Vice President without spending even one minute on the campaign trail. Mark has and always will represent the members first, to the absolute best of his ability. Contact Mark at m.meiresonne@iltroopers41.org Back to Top
I started my career in 1988, after the Academy I was assigned to District 15 and later transferred to District 14. Among other things I’ve been a K-9 Handler, District A.R.O., District V.I.O., F.T.O. and District Range Officer. In 2005 I completed a Temporary Duty Assignment to Zone 4 Investigations and I am currently back in patrol working in District 14. I’m from a strong union family. I grew up union. I believe in Solidarity and I understand unions. These things and my work experience give me a unique perspective on our own labor issues. I’ve been a dedicated Lodge Trustee since 1993. I’m active in our organization. I’ve attended State and National Conferences, and have served on various committee’s. I’m proud to have been a member of the Contract Negotiation Team that secured our current contract for our membership. I believe in our rights as members of this Organization. I will do whatever I can to protect and enhance those rights and benefits of every member of our Organization, including front line officers, agents, sergeants, fraternal members and last, but certainly not least, those who have come, sacrificed, and gone before us...our retiree’s. Thank you for the opportunity to serve YOU... the membership, as your Secretary. I thank you for your trust and support.

Sgt. At Arms Kent James I started my career in 1987(cc#81). I started in District 13A, which is now District 22. Two years later I transferred to District 13, in which I still reside with my wife and two sons. I am currently a C.V.E.O, which I have been for the past five years. The previous 17 years I spent on patrol.
I come from a union family. My father was also a union steward at his place of employment. I hope to serve ALL members of Troopers Lodge 41; active, retired, uniform, or plain clothes. I will do my best to help you in labor or fraternal needs. Previous members and officers of this lodge have provided us with rights and benefits that their forefathers didn't have. I hope to both protect and build on these rights and benefits thru labor negotiations and legislation. My wish is for the members to become more fraternal, for I feel that this will ensure our rights and benefits.
