Village Nominating Committee

Gail Donnelly: Gail Donnelly, a wife and mother of three young adults, has enjoyed residing in Glencoe for the past 8.5 years. Her current position at the Northshore Plant Club connects her love of plants with her career in technology and research. Gail previously volunteered with Glencoe Community Garden, and was a Poll Place Technician for the past three elections in Glencoe. Gail can be found dancing all night at a punk show, quietly perusing modern art, or reading compelling novels. With her love of debate and interesting taste, Gail brings a unique perspective to the Glencoe Caucus.

Katherine Lauren Hanus Doscher: I am an Immigration Attorney and have my own practice. I have three children Gabriel (11), Noah (8), Julia (4). I have served on multiple Boards of Directors including the Young Women's Board for the Jewish United Fund and have held multiple leadership positions, Executive Board Positions, and campaign roles. I previously served on the Board for Family Services of Glencoe and was the Auction Co-Chair for the 2022 Benefit which successfully surpassed prior fundraising goals. I also served as the President of the Parent Organization at Solomon Schechter Day School during the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years, and have successfully served as the chair of the After School Program run by the Parent Organization since 2022. I previously served on event committees for fundraising ventures for Moriah Early Childhood Center Preschool in Deerfield and Glencoe Junior Kindergarten Preschool in Glencoe. I have been involved with the annual Cohen Weil MS Yoga Fundraiser every Summer for the last four years. District 35 has been extremely helpful and an incredible resource for my four year daughter and I am interested in getting involved in the Glencoe Caucus for this reason.

Kelly was the President of Glencoe Junior Kindergarten and the Glencoe PTO before joining the District 35 School Board in 2017.

Maura Nemes:  We moved to Glencoe in 2022 and have three young children in 1st grade, kindergarten, and a one-year-old. Our decision to move here was driven by the strength of the school system, as education is a top priority for our family.
I’m eager to get involved in the community beyond my children’s classrooms, and I’m especially interested in opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully. The focus on recruiting, interviewing, and vetting candidates particularly resonated with me, as this is a key part of my role in our family business. In addition, I serve as a commissioner for my district (Chicago SSA 43) in a volunteer capacity, where I was appointed by the mayor to help oversee district tax funds, evaluate service providers, and participate in the selection of new commissioners. I would love to bring my experience and enthusiasm to further support the community.

Molly Rymarz: Hello! We have lived in Glencoe since November 2017 with our daughter. Prior to Glencoe we lived in the West Loop and Atlanta. We feel very lucky to have landed in Glencoe and are thankful for wonderful neighbors, friends, community, and the teachers in our school system. Our daughter has loved Childrens Circle, South School, and now West School! We enjoy taking bike rides, spending time at the beach, and racket sports.

Jennifer Yeo: For the last seven years, I have been an active member of the Glencoe community. With a professional background in sales and event coordination, I bring strategic thinking, organization, and clear communication to the table. As Vice President of the D35 PTO for the past three years, I have experience collaborating with diverse perspectives to make balanced, informed decisions on behalf of our community. As a parent of three young children in the district, I am deeply invested in selecting school board members who will prioritize student success, community values, and the long-term strength of our schools.
