“Since assuming the position of CEO here at San Mar
I have started five different programs... In each instance (MARFY) member agencies mentored me in what to do, where to turn and how to proceed.
The contacts and the doors that were opened for me were substantial...
Those relationships alone are worth the price of membership.”
~ Bruce Anderson, CEO San Mar
