Dana Harvey, Director
Mandela MarketPlace
Marie is an exceptional professional development facilitator. She brings our organization into a new realm of partnerships, programmatic development and organizational expectation. She is a thorough researcher, so grant requests and program development do not happen in a vacuum, but are based on information and build on other resources available in our field and geographic area. Marie is a coach and mentor for me personally, guiding me into a new level as a non-profit leader and professional. Bringing her into our organization is one of the best decisions I’ve made. She is extremely professional. She is passionate about her work, committed to the success of her clients. And she even enjoys writing grants!"
