D65 chief financial officer ready for retirement
When he left his last long-term job in 2001, Lutaf Dhanidina started walking each morning from his south Evanston house up to Northwestern’s Technological Institute and back.
Dhanidina gave up his morning walk for almost three years to serve in the financial office of Evanston/Skokie School District 65. But as a new chief financial officer takes over, Dhanidina will return to retirement and service work.
–snip– Dhanidina worked in several Chicago area school districts as a budget director and school administrator for more than 30 years.
A native of Tanzania, Dhanidina, SESP ’66, studied education at Northwestern University.
After attending graduate school at Columbia University, Dhanidina said he intended to return to Tanzania but stayed in the United States after he could not find a job back home.
Dhanidina became interested in school administration after studying school finance and economics at the University of Chicago.
