Marjorie was presented the special award bearing the signature of President Biden at the annual Union Bands awards banquet in mid-May 2024.
Director of Union Bands Charles Pisarra recently remarked about Hall’s legacy as a member of the Union community. “An uncommonly high-capacity leader, Marjorie has left an indelible mark of passionate service to the Union Bands & UBPC, creating policies & systems of accountability & transparency, building capable teams of empowered volunteers, and most of all: loving kids, always keeping our students’ best interests at the core of all she does,” said Pisarra.
Marjorie continues to serve in an unelected, unofficial role, providing guidance & support to the new UBPC leadership team, and by working behind-the-scenes on the organization’s software systems, including execution of critical technical steps required in an significant transition to a new master database platform.
