Marianne Rochelle was first introduced to iACT when a friend invited her to volunteer for iACT’s annual fundraising event – The Hope Awards. Marianne shared her natural gifts and talents of organizing and project management to help our event reach new heights of success. Marianne was so committed to iACT’s mission that she accepted an invitation to join the Board of Directors and is currently the Vice President of Planning. As a recently retired IBM Program Manager, Marianne has many options to share her resources with others; however, she has chosen to share them with iACT because of her personal connection to our mission to cultivate peace and respect through interfaith dialogue, service and celebration.
