Meet Marie Holland

About Marie Holland,
Client Manager
Marie provides invaluable assistance to her client’s projects by coordinating full-service grants management in all stages of competitive funding, including: research, application development, stakeholder outreach, administrative compliance, and close-out audits, ultimately positioning clients for successful completion of community and economic development projects. Her master’s degree in environmental science and policy offers a wealth of knowledge for projects with complex environmental conditions. In addition to serving GMS’s municipal, non-profit and business clients, Marie serves as a State-appointed reviewer for the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP), overseeing compliance on behalf of the Office of the Budget. Her clients often become very reliant on Marie, as she truly becomes an extension of their own internal teams and is known for being extremely conscientious and organized.
Fun Facts: Unlike her counterpart (Marissa), Marie is rarely seen without a turbo-sized cup of extra strong coffee. It’s been said that she alone has kept the Carlisle Starbucks in business. Marie is the oldest of six siblings, which undoubtedly fed the maternal tendencies that her daughter Elaina enjoys today. Marie also retreats to the gym on a daily basis and has fully embraced the newest work attire trend – “Covid-casual.”
