It is with profound respect and deep sadness that we remember Marie Hegarty, a dedicated leader, passionate volunteer, and cherished member of our Chapter. Marie served with distinction as Vice President of Membership & Volunteers.  

She was an active champion for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and established the DEI Team, helping to ensure that PMI-DVC’s culture was one of belonging, respect, and opportunity for all. Her advocacy and efforts in DEI enriched our community and strengthened the foundation on which future leaders will build.
