Based in Chicago, Margie brings over 3 decades of industry knowledge and experience to her role within the DMC Network family. Originally from NY, Margie's earliest hospitality experience was working in both the hotel and DMC arenas.

Most recently honored with MPI Chicago’s Hall of Fame award, Margie participates as an active member in several industry associations. Over the years she has been the recipient of several prestigious industry awards, including both the Supplier of the Year Award (2014) from MPI and The Pillar Award from PCMA.

Margie is a woman with multiple strings to her bow, her most recent addition being a published Author.  Her book  ‘And Then… Networking Lessons from an Extraordinary Life Still in Progress’ has just been released and is a firm favorite within the DMC Network family.

She is a familiar face on the speaking scene where her skills at interacting and connecting with people truly come to life.

Margie and her husband, Gary, live nearly Wrigley Field Stadium with their two awesome cats, Harry Caray, and Cubbie Bear. Cheering their beloved Cubs to victory in person at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series remains one of her most spectacular memories.

Margie comes from a big family – she is the baby of five siblings!  She loves to travel the world and meet new people - no wonder a career in meetings and events was so appealing to her!

Being a charades aficionado has proven invaluable during these travels.  Challenge her to a game if you want to see her competitive spirit come out ; )
