Kay's Place
Margaret Kay Hovious
Home
Born Indianapolis, Indiana. I spent most of my youth in Los Angeles, CA (attended Huntington Park High School 1957-58; Tripoli, Lybia USAF School 1958-59). My current home on the ground is in Wilmington, NC. In 2003, I relocated to Wilmington from the Carrboro/Chapel Hill, NC community where I'd lived since the late '60s.
I'm the proud mom of Shari Cox Martin, Larry and Gary Cox, and thrilled-to-be grandma of Edda Martin, Nicholas Seiver and Darby and Cameron Cox, and great grandma to Daniel and David.
My professional career (1972-2003) was spent at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I retired August 1, 2003 from my position as Director of Administration for the School of Law.
Graduate of The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Communication Studies, 2005.

Community and University activities have been my avocations. I enjoy saying YES! to all good causes and therefore have had the pleasure of election and appointment to a variety of offices with my favorite activist organizations. These include:
- The State Employees Association of North Carolina, Inc. (SEANC). I served in multiple offices at the state-level, including president in 1988-89. At the District (local) level, I completed four terms as Chairperson of SEANC District 25.
- The Employee Forum at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was elected as the first Chair of the Forum in September 1992 and served as Chair through January 1994. I then served as a delegate through December 1994.
- The League of Women Voters of the Chapel Hill Area. I've served the League in many capacities, including two terms as president, 1991-93.
Details about my service with the University and these organizations can be found here.
