About The V.I.P. Party

The V.I.P. Party is a political organization made up of concerned citizens whose purpose is to keep abreast of, and promote public awareness of issues that affect the quality of life in and around the Village of Brookfield. We are from diverse neighborhoods and enjoy different lifestyles but are united in our aspiration to preserve and improve the attributes and quality of life that attracted us to Brookfield. We are also united by our belief that village government and management should be respectful and responsive to the opinions and desires of the residents. We want to make Brookfield a better place to live, work and raise a family.

The V.I.P. Party Vision Statement

Our future vision is that Brookfield will maintain its uniquely attractive balance of diverse neighborhoods as it continues to develop and grow. Residents will become better informed about issues that impact their Village and will become more active in improving their community through volunteer projects with the V.I.P. Party and with the many other organizations in the village and participation in local elections. We believe that the V.I.P. Party will be an important bridge to this future Brookfield.

The V.I.P. Party Mission Statement

We desire to protect those qualities that attracted us to the Village of Brookfield and will promote improvements consistent with those qualities by providing a forum for discussion and dissemination of information, encouraging voter participation, and volunteering for community projects and V.I.P. Party activities.
