Carla Gibson

Vice President of Programs at REACH Healthcare Foundation

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Marquita both professionally and personally. I am a Senior Program Officer at the REACH Healthcare Foundation in Merriam, Kansas. In my position, I work closely with non-profit health and human service organizations that we provide funding to for support of healthcare-related programming. I first met Marquita when she worked at an organization that was in the grantee portfolio that I managed. She became the primary contact for the organization to the Foundation. Not only was I able to notice that she is a clear and concise communicator, but that she is also exceptionally astute at building and maintaining important relationships. From my initial meeting with Marquita, I found her to be very engaging and we developed a strong working relationship. She was always very responsive and seemed to have a firm understanding of the community, her role in the organization, and how to effectively work with a funding partner. Even though Marquita’s role was as a Fundraising Manager, she seemed to naturally take on additional duties and did function as the liaison for multiple grants for the organization. During the time I have known Marquita, she has displayed professionalism, responsiveness, and adaptability to change in order to accommodate frequent moving targets. Marquita’s passion and unwavering belief in equity are evident in many of her volunteer endeavors. We have served on several equity-related Committees together, including co-chairing the host leadership team for a national conference. During these times, I have observed her passion, leadership, and determination to affect change. Marquita is one of the most authentic, ethical, and kind people I know. I feel very privileged to know her not only as a colleague but also as a friend.”
