Rick Hudak

Council President

Term Expires: 2029

The path which led me to where I have wound up involved a considerable amount of work, associating with really good people, networking on many levels, as well as no small amount of luck. Having been involved with several local organizations and governmental entities led to me being asked to serve on two Richfield Citizen of the Year committees. I was fortunate to serve for six years on the Richfield Village Board of Zoning Appeals (three as chairman), have been appointed to two separate Revere scholarship committees for many years (and been a supporter and fund raiser for both), and have served as a local Boy Scout co-leader and supporter.
