She has led the Fort Rucker 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program and is an active member of the Johns Chapel AME Church in Enterprise since 1975, serving in various ministry leadership capacities including Christian Education Director and Choir President. She is also the lovely mother and the greatest inspiration of our host, Jared.
More about our guest:
Marge, the 7th of 13 children, considers her childhood home as the innovation headquarters with as many as 8 of the 10 living at home at the same time. She has worked her way to the top in the US Army despite all the setbacks as a woman-of-color during her time. She uses her experience and expertise as a former civil service worker and now an active member of her church and in music clubs to help guide her children and the people around her to use their God-given gifts and talents to make the world a better place
