About Marie

Good Business
Since Sullivan joined AWEE in 1997, she has dramatically expanded the breadth and scope of their programs and increased the number of people served by 184%. She has seen a 900% increase in participants served (over 6,000 individuals annually) and increases in their performance outcomes: 82% transition to employment with wages above $10.80/hour -- both statistics are higher than national and state averages in the same categories. She has increased the annual organization budget from $450K to $3.2M. She was the recipient of 2004 national Bank of America Foundation Neighborhood Excellence Award, the development and implementation of the first Women and Work symposium in the spring of 2006, and recognition of program excellence in financial literacy by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Sullivan says she draws the most personal satisfaction from seeing how the programs change lives in real and meaningful ways.

Leadership
As a leader at AWEE for over 11 years she believes she embodies the values and aspirations of the organization. Sullivan demonstrates a passion for her work that inspires others to commit their best efforts. She sets high expectations for herself and others, while providing mentoring and support for each individual. At AWEE, Sullivan works with each member of her staff to create a detailed personal plan that identifies their short and long- term goals and the steps required to achieve them. She believes, a business—and its employees—must grow and develop if it is to remain vital and successful.

Mission 
To change lives through the dignity of work.
