The Village is pleased to announce that two individuals were recently sworn into office at the Board of Trustees meeting: Marsha McClary and Kevin Del Re.

Trustee Marsha McClary

On Monday, October 27, 2025, resident Marsha McClary was sworn in as Village Trustee, filling the unexpired term of Trustee Darby Hills, whose resignation created a vacancy in the Office of Village Trustee.

Marsha McClary grew up locally, attending St. Anne’s School and Barrington High School, and has lived in Barrington Hills with her family for the past ten years.

She earned her Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Computer Information Systems from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. Throughout her career, she has held executive roles directing strategy, operations, finance, and stakeholder engagement in entrepreneurial companies, as well as a 20-year tenure with a Fortune Global 500 pharmaceutical corporation. Her executive experience has established her reputation for sound governance, operational rigor, and collaborative leadership.

Alongside her career, Marsha has been deeply involved in charitable and civic service. She has served on the board of Feed My Starving Children, leads a Moms for Liberty chapter, mentors youth in leadership and STEM, and has advised stewardship ministry initiatives. In these roles, she puts into practice values of integrity, service, and compassion.

As Trustee, she remains committed to protecting the natural beauty and tranquility that define Barrington Hills. Trustee McClary’s appointed term will expire in 2027.

Congratulations and Welcome Aboard, Trustee Marsha McClary!

Police Officer Kevin Del Re

At the same Board of Trustees Meeting, Monday, October 27, 2025, Police Chief Kyle Murphy was pleased to introduce the Department’s newest Police Officer, Kevin Del Re, who was ceremoniously sworn in to the rank of Police Officer. A touching moment followed as Officer Del Re’s youngest son had the honor of pinning on his father’s badge.

A show of support from his fellow Department members filled the MacArthur Room, celebrating this momentous event.

Officer Del Re grew up in McHenry County and attended Western Illinois University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in law enforcement and justice administration.  He comes to our Village with 13 years of experience as a sworn law enforcement officer from the Village of Johnsburg, where he earned an excellent reputation in community policing. 

Officer Del Re began his employment with the Barrington Hills Police Department on October 1st and is currently in our field training program.

Congratulations, Officer Del Re, and Welcome to the Village of Barrington Hills!
