Our People
Marigail Sexton, Communications Director
Marigail Sexton is the resident expert on all things “promotion.”
Most of the cool t-shirts, give-away goodies, powerpoint presentations, and videos are her work. Marigail also helps Dorothy set a course for glory for VIP and ending violence. Mostly she just hangs out in Dorothy’s office and says “yeah” a lot. Marigail works off-site most of the time, so she’s a little bit like the lochness monster…you’ll only see her once in a while and when you do, you’ll wonder “was that real?” You might also have a “Marigail sighting” on any local tennis court, funky clothing store, or hiking trail. Be sure and say “hey” if you do and know, she sure is for real!!
