District 2 Community Spotlight
 Welcome to our Community Spotlight, where we shine a light on the incredible individuals, businesses, organizations, and initiatives making a difference in our community.
This month, we're thrilled to highlight Marilyn Thiele Wilson of Mesa. Marilyn was born in Iowa where she was a former Jr. High teacher. In 1970 Marilyn and her husband Ralph (Val) relocated to Mesa and she has cherished every minute of it. In 1980 Marilyn was elected to her first term on the Mesa Governing Board, the largest school district in Arizona, where she served for 16 years. She was Mesa’s Woman of the year in 1984 and has served as President of numerous community boards including the Arizona School Boards Association, Mesa Public Library, Mesa Judicial Advisory Board, and the Child Crisis Center. To her great surprise, in 1996, the Mesa Public School District named its new elementary school Marilyn Thiele Wilson Elementary. Marilyn currently serves on the Mesa Arts Center Foundation Board and Mesa Public Schools Foundation Board. Marilyn and her husband are grateful to have three wonderful children, three children-in-law and six grandchildren.
