                       HON. JANICE D. SCHAKOWSKY

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 21, 2019

  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
compassionate and efficient service and valuable contributions of my 
dear personal friend, Ms. Marilyn Glazer, who is retiring from her role 
as Niles Township Supervisor on December 31, 2019. Marilyn has served 
as an effective elected official to her community for nearly 15 years, 
and her leadership has changed Niles Township for the better.
  Marilyn Glazer was first elected as a Niles Township Trustee in 2005, 
and she held this position until her election as Supervisor in 2014. 
Marilyn worked hard to make sure that Niles Township residents had 
access to the best services that the township could offer.
  Marilyn helped to increase resources allocated to the Niles Township 
food pantry and under her leadership, the food pantry has grown and 
moved into a new and larger space. The food pantry provides a lifeline 
for many township residents. Marilyn helped establish local grants 
available for qualifying students to attend Oakton Community College, 
and scholarships for day care and park district day camp. She also 
oversaw efforts to meaningfully improve and expand access to senior 
legal services, immigration services, and utility bill assistance.
  My office has worked closely with Niles Township throughout Marilyn's 
tenure to ensure that our shared constituents receive effective and 
efficient assistance. My district staff holds regular neighborhood 
office hours in the township offices and works closely with the 
township staff to solve constituents' problems. Marilyn maintained 
excellent working relationships with my staff and has always been a 
fierce advocate for Niles Township residents.
  Marilyn will continue her long and successful career as a realtor and 
real estate teacher after her retirement from the township.
  Marilyn Glazer's professional work speaks for itself, and I deeply 
admire her dedicated effort to better the lives of residents throughout 
Niles Township. On behalf of the constituents of the 9th Congressional 
District, I thank Marilyn for her service and tireless work over the 
last 15 years.
