SMPS Oregon has so many amazing, talented committee volunteers and we want to recognize those that step up to get things done! The monthly MVP is nominated by the Board of Directors for outstanding contributions to our chapter and going above and beyond their general committee responsibilities.

This month, we’d like to give the MVP Award and a round of applause to our Director of Communications – Marina Garcia, Marketing Lead at NorthWest Engineering Service, Inc.

Read what the board said about her recent contributions:

“I appreciate Marina’s tenacity in helping me figure out an issue with posting a job on the SMPS Oregon website. She stayed on top of the request for more than two weeks as she coordinated with Headquarters to resolve the problem. I know how hard it can be to prioritize volunteer work, but Marina showed a real commitment to her volunteer work on the communications committee. Thank you, Marina!”
-Kelsey Parpart, CPSM, Marketing Manager | Century West Engineering

“Marina is a true team player and always has a positive attitude, even when faced with tough chal-lenges. The role of Communications Director is a balancing act and she handles it with grace! I am so thankful to have Marina part of our board."
