“I first met Marian when we were hired at Merced College, but I truly began to appreciate her talents and organizational skills while working on the Staff Development committee approximately three years ago. Marian was able to work with a variety of people, to keep all on task, and delegate assignments when necessary—always in a manner that was collaborative and respectful. Whenever a decision needed to be made, Marian would research thoroughly and present for the group to make decisions.”
