Margie Emmermann officially retired from Molera Alvarez on June 28, after serving the company for several years as Vice President of Strategic Initiatives.

Margie is an accomplished community leader. Prior to Molera Alvarez, she worked with four Arizona governors, leading the Arizona Department of Commerce, Arizona Office of Tourism, and Arizona-Mexico Commission, following a successful private sector career in marketing and community relations. Margie has been instrumental in shaping Arizona’s domestic and international policy initiatives for more than two decades, and she will be greatly missed. Molera Alvarez thanks Margie for her dedicated service and wishes her all the best in retirement.
