During his time as BACP Commissioner, Ken worked closely with members of the business community, consumer protection advocates, and workers to pioneer numerous policies and initiatives. He played a crucial role in establishing the Office of Labor Standards, which has become a model for municipal worker protection offices. He also led efforts to regulate emerging economic sectors such as shared housing, rideshare, and shared scooters in a way that generated sustainable city revenues while serving the interests of Chicagoans.
Ken's leadership also resulted in streamlining regulatory processes to make it easier for businesses to obtain licenses and open their doors faster. His collaborative approach with government agencies and industry stakeholders ensured smart regulations were put in place.
"It has been an honor of a lifetime to serve the City of Chicago for over three decades," said Commissioner Meyer. "I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside dedicated colleagues and community partners. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones, and I leave with immense pride in what we have accomplished for the people of Chicago."
