SVP Interim Executive Director Announcement

We are pleased to announce that Marion Paul will be serving as Interim Executive Director while Peggy is on family leave.

Marion has been a familiar face at SVP. Starting in 2003, when Junior Achievement was selected as an Investee, SVP Partners worked with Marion and the JA leadership to create JA BizTown, an exciting experiential learning facility that teaches kids about business, personal finance and life skills.

In 2006, Marion joined the SVP board and served until 2010. In addition, Marion continues to serve on the Fund Development Resource Team today.

Marion also became the first Executive Director of Equinox Center, a nonprofit organization that was created through SVP Partners, and is dedicated to balancing our economic growth while preserving our exceptional quality of life.

Prior to moving to San Diego, Marion had an extensive policy background, serving as senior policy analyst in the Colorado Governor’s Office, executive director of Jobs for Colorado’s Future, and as public affairs manager at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

Currently, Marion runs her own nonprofit consulting firm, and her clients include the McGrath Family Foundation.

Marion is excited to take on her new role as Interim Executive Director, and will be sharing her enthusiasm about SVP across the San Diego community that we serve.
