Marikay Abuzuaiter is an at-large Greensboro City Council representative. She was first elected in 2011 and, was re-elected in 2017 for a term that continues until 2021. According to her website, Marikay has served Greensboro as "the chair of the Municipal Planning Organization, the vice chair of the Human Relations Commission, and a member of the executive committee of the Family Justice Center and the boards of the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation, FaithAction International, and the Piedmont Triad Regional Council."* She has also been also a local business owner for nearly three decades.
The above photo was taken at a last night's meeting of the Beta Delta Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society for Women Educators, held at the First Baptist Church. It is appreciated when politicians voluntarily come out to support community, civic, and professional organizations. Regardless of how political beliefs align, it is important to hear and be heard by representatives. Here is a video from 2009, where Marikay shares her views for the Greensboro Democracy Project.

I think I would like Marikay. She certainly has given back to the community!
