A life-long Chicago resident, he is a writer and a public communications consultant primarily to clients involved with local governmental and political issues. His list of clients has included many Chicago Aldermen, several officials of various political parties, a former United States Congressman, an Illinois Governor and a former ambassador to the United States from Cyprus.

 

Stan Hollenbeck served in the Chicago Public School system for more than a decade. In his last capacity, he was an administrative associate for public relations to Dr. Edward Welling, who was chief of the CPS's desegregation project.

 

In 1975, he authored a white paper delineating plans for the decentralization of the Chicago Board of Education that served as the educational platform for two mayoral campaigns. This research and writing was used as a basis for school reform legislation in the Illinois legislature that led to the formation of Chicago's Local School Councils.
