A municipal icon, Jbeily leaves her mark on various achievements
Several years ago, Abir Khoury Jbeily plunged into the municipal field, whereby she created and organized several activities, events, media campaigns and ceremonies for various municipalities. In charge of public and international relations, Jbeily’s name emerged onto the world of municipal affairs, and eventually she became the “go-to person " in facilitating partnerships on a local and foreign level, and overseeing twinning agreements, among various other notable achievements.
The mother of three, who holds a Master degree from the University of St. Joseph, is currently in charge of consulting and international relations for several municipalities across the Lebanese territory, such as Baalbek, Jeita, Jdeideh-Bauchrieh-Sed, Furn el-Chebbak, and others.
Unveiling a Life-long Career
Having occupied the roles of Chargé of Local and International Affairs, Chief of Protocol, Editorial Coordinator, and Events Coordinator at the Municipality of Zouk Mikael and the Federation of Keserouan-Ftouh for a period of ten years, shaped the woman she is today. No amount of trainings, seminars, workshops or lectures could have equipped her to face the obstacles and challenges that she encounters in her career on a daily basis.

The birth of a unique concept: the Lebanese Municipal Agenda
Following the 2016 municipal elections, Jbeily founded her own company, "Eventigami ", which she currently runs. Through this company, she recently brought to light the Lebanese Municipal Agenda, an online forum whereby citizens have access to a single platform that encompasses information pertaining to municipalities in a clear, thorough and easy to use manner.
The purpose of this forum is to promote inter-municipal communication and facilitate access to municipal information, sharing of events, etc. A politics-free medium, it highlights municipal affairs and news, steering clear of all politically-related occasions and/or activities.
Following the unofficial launch of the Lebanese Municipal Agenda website in April 2017, which was greeted with great enthusiasm by the presidents of the municipalities, Jbeily continues down a long and arduous road ahead. With the official launch of the website in August 2018 and more than 1400 municipalities to cover, she is on a passionate mission to connect each and every municipality with the citizens of Lebanon.
