No challengers in local races

BY ROBERT PELAEZ

The incumbents in Great Neck villages facing March 21 elections are running unopposed.

Great Neck Plaza Trustees Lawrence Katz and Alex (Siu Long) Au are unopposed in the village’s upcoming election as both seek twoyear terms on the board. Au was appointed to the board last year to fill out the term of longtime Trustee Gerry Schneiderman.

Katz, a certified public accountant and attorney who previously served three years on the village’s Zoning Appeals Board, has served since December 2012.

Au has an MBA in finance and accounting and has worked with Fortune 500 companies and large nonprofit organizations. He also served in the U.S. Army as a transportation specialist and as a member of the Great Neck Library’s Nominating Committee. Au lives in the Plaza with his wife, Dorothy Feng, and their two daughters.

Schneiderman, who was first elected to the board in 2000, was a member of the Wyngate Civic Association during the 1970s. His involvement in local government spurred him to be appointed to the village’s Zoning Board of Appeals by former Mayor Andrew Wurman.
