Marcie Shelton
In early 2022, Give2Lead founder, Marcie Shelton hosted a booth at a local conference for her Leadership Consulting Business (The Leaders Partner) and felt that something was very wrong with the traditional exchange between vendors and event-goers.
Vendors hauled in boxes of swag and tchotchkes branded with their logo, hoping to meet new prospects and make an ‘impression’ on them with a pencil, a squeeze ball, a USB drive, or some other piece of plastic that would ultimately (and usually quite quickly) end up in a landfill. She was dismayed to learn that nationwide, small to medium-sized businesses spend an average of $25.2 billion on promotional swag every year, with nearly all of that promotional swag ending up as landfill waste.
Marcie asked herself a powerful question – “What if there was a better way to gather leads at conferences by giving back to the community instead of filling up people’s closets and trash cans?”
With that question as the premise, over the past 12 months, she’s been hard at work asking even more powerful questions, ideating, listening, learning, and building Give2Lead. As a dedicated community member and business owner in the #GreaterSacramentoRegion, Marcie has a passion for spending, giving and building in a way that helps local communities thrive.
