Verificado @wintrust.comWith the responsibility of community development for a large financial organization, in working with Marvin in numerous capacities over the years, I found him to be passionate on the topic of improving the lives of people in impactful ways. Two specific areas include improving education for lower income students in grades K-12. Also workforce development programs that result in people becoming employed in higher paying career opportunities. In these two areas as well as his leadership as President of a local area chamber of commerce, Marvin always deployed a "can-do", congenial and professional attitude that facilitated and fostered team building. In the majority of instances also yielded great success.
