Marcia Fink

 
Marcia Fink is Director of the Basic Needs Impact area for the Greater Twin Cities United Way (GTCUW). Basic Needs is one of three impact areas at GTCUW and she is responsible for the planning and implementation of funding decisions for $14 - $15M in the areas of food, housing and economic self-sufficiency. Relying heavily on a wide range of data, community and client input, and community indicators, she and her team recently completed a new impact plan for Basic Needs that has three measurable, time-limited goals. Ms. Fink came to GTCUW in February 2005 after 15 years at the region's largest local chamber of commerce, serving as Vice-President the last 7 years of her tenure. Her responsibilities included workforce development, school-to-work partnerships, community leadership training programs and a variety of business empowerment programs. While at the chamber of commerce, she re-positioned the chamber's charitable foundation from a pass-through legal structure to an operating affiliate. Fink also provided oversight for the first chamber-sponsored charter school in the country. Prior to her work at the chamber, Fink spent nearly a dozen years at home with her three children, taking a "short" work break from her career in the telecommunications industry. She holds a B.A. in Anthropology from Michigan State University.
