Marion’s spirited leadership has driven me to reach levels of personal and professional development that I had previously not imagined to be conceivable. I admire her willingness to learn and then share this knowledge with her colleagues. She sets an example of being in the workplace that encourages her co-workers and clients to fulfill their potential, and motivates teams to be effective in meeting and exceeding organizational goals. She believes in her colleagues’ and clients’ strengths and she helps individuals bring out their capabilities to the fullest. I will be thankful to her all of my life for giving me this wonderful opportunity, and having such a firm belief in me. ~ Inderjit Sekhon

During the time period that I've worked with Marion in my role as Career Counsellor / Case Manager, with CARE in Abbotsford, I've known her to be both committed and responsive to the needs of mutual clients. Our interactions on behalf of clients have always been of a positive and successful nature. Her staff have always reflected her work ethic, and because of that, many were able to find employment after time spent with MCC. The "Unplugged" program for job seekers with limited computer skills, was a particular success in providing just the right level of assistance for computer-phobic clients. Many clients later called to thank me for referring them to {her] Compass program. ~ Conroy Jones

Marion is one of those rare people who combine vision, creativity, organizational skills and focus. She leads by example, turns her creative ideas into action, and keeps herself and those around her focused on what matters. She is also a fierce and committed proponent of continuous learning, for example when she realized staff interest in conflict resolution skills and pulled all manner of strings to organize one of the best conflict management teachers for us. ~ Isabella Mori

Marion’s giftedness as a manager and her passion for adult learning was an inspiration to me as a member of her staff in the COMPASS program. Particularly adept at empowering learners in the learning process, Marion passionately embodies the same value for lifelong learning that she espouses. Her vibrant and engaging personality as a facilitator is complemented by the creativity and innovation she demonstrates as a manager. Known for being an early adopter of cutting edge technologies, she often developed and implemented new methods to enhance participants’ learning experiences, using these technologies.  I recommend her highly for related work.  ~ Sean J. Hassall
