Chicago Fire Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt to Retire in May, Calls for More Training

Chicago Fire Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt will retire in May, leaving whoever wins the city’s next mayoral election the task of picking a new Fire Department leader. Nance-Holt told aldermen she will be forced to step back by department rules when she turns 63 next year. The mandatory retirement will end a six-year tenure for the city’s first Black woman to serve in the role, appointed by Lori Lightfoot in 2021 — and one thing will stick most on her mind when she leaves, she said.

Larry Tucker ’79 Announces His Retirement

Some decisions in life are harder than others, especially when they involve saying goodbye to a place and people who have been such an important part of your life. After 29 memorable years in leadership at Marist, I have made one of those difficult decisions. I will be retiring at the conclusion of this school year. After 40 years in Catholic education, it is difficult to imagine my days without the students, faculty, staff, and alumni who have meant so much to me. Over the years, I have had the privilege of watching thousands of young people enter Marist as uncertain freshmen and leave as confident young adults ready to take on the world. Many of those students are now leaders in their communities, and nothing has brought me greater satisfaction than seeing the people they have become. While I am proud of all that Marist has accomplished over the years, it is the relationships, the conversations, the laughter, and the everyday moments that I will miss the most.
