“Marci brings a wonderful combination of expert writing skill, community knowledge and creative brainstorming to her role as associate editor of Canandaigua Magazine. We chose her over a slew of candidates for the position, and she has done more to add to the spirit and voice of the magazine than we could have hoped. Beyond that, she is such a genuine and warm presence. We have such great confidence in her, and feel extremely lucky to have found her.”

Speaking and Speechwriting
Do you need a speech written?
Whether you’re addressing a handful of people, or an entire roomful, the most successful speakers are able to make audience members feel they’re talking one-on-one.
In my career, I’ve given many presentations on communication, entrepreneurship, employment skills, media relations, humor, and Work/Life Balance.
I’ve also acted as emcee at several events, for audiences up to 325 people.
In 1997, I competed as a District representative in the NYS Business & Professional Women's New Careerist program, a professional development and speech competition at the State Conference held at The Sagamore Hotel and Resort in Bolton Landing, New York -- and won the award.
My speech on Fear and Risk prompted many invitations to give keynotes to women’s groups over western New York State.
In 2007, I was honored to be asked to give the keynote address at the 23rd annual Athena Awards event in my community. The theme for that year was on the Athena tenet “Fierce Advocacy.”
