Communications promoting the mission and vision of CMDA through
facilitation of written and oral communications. "I love developing
relationships with the media, but even better I love developing Godly
relationships with our members." Margie joined CMDA in 2002. She

goes to places like the Bristol race and ballgames where she tries to
inconspicuously watch others. |
