Village Manager Dane Bragg recently announced the promotion of Kathryn “Katie” Golbach to Director of Human Resources for the Village of Buffalo Grove, effective Monday, February 5th.
Human Resources is responsible for recruitment and retention, benefits and claims administration, workforce management, training and organizational development.
“Ms. Gorbach has successfully transformed the way the department operates to enhance the employee experience and increase efficiency,” Bragg said. “She is an asset to the village, trusted and respected by her colleagues, and I have every confidence in her ability to support our current and next generation of public servants.”
Golbach began her career in local government in 2016 with the Village of Carpentersville before joining the Village of Buffalo Grove in August 2018 as a Human Resources Management Analyst.
She demonstrated exceptional dedication and professional growth and was promoted to human resources manager in early 2023 and now to human resources director, according to village officials.
During his tenure at Buffalo Grove, Gorbach implemented an online open enrollment program and new applicant tracking software, overhauled the performance review program, new policies and employee handbook revisions, and hired numerous positions.
Gorbach is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and holds a master’s degree in public administration from Northern Illinois University. Additionally, she received SHRM-CP (Society for Human Resource Management-Professional Certification) in May 2023.
“I am passionate about this organization, and over the past five years, my commitment to our mission, our people, and the positive impact we create together has only deepened,” she said. “I am honored to continue serving our dedicated staff and contribute to the Village’s continued success in this enhanced capacity.”
The village plans to fill her current position in the coming weeks.
