Marlene Lolles
The Brockton RCC is bidding farewell to a cherished friend and colleague.
Marlene and Chris are embarking on a new adventure in Ohio! With over a decade of service at the Brockton RCC, Marlene's absence will be deeply felt. Her unwavering commitment as a facilitator has made her an integral part of our team.
It has been a joy to collaborate with you and witness your growth in skills and talents. Thank you for being such a vital part of our group; you will truly be missed.
While this is an exciting opportunity for you, it’s hard to imagine the team without you. Please stay in touch; even though you may no longer be a coworker, you will always be a friend.
Wishing you all the best in this new chapter of your life.
From Your Brockton RCC Family
