Best Student Award for GSCFM Class of 2008
Marlene Groh, CCE, Credit Manager for US Foodservice, Charlotte, NC

"It’s an honor," said Marlene Groh, CCE after receiving her award. "I went to school with some wonderful people and to have them do this for me is a real honor." Groh also encouraged her fellow credit professionals to follow her path and highlighted how beneficial education really is in good times or in bad. "Education is the one thing that no one can take from you," she said. "It sets you apart and there are so few people that do it. It shows that you’re not only interested in myself but in your company too."
