In this episode of The Chamber Link, Chamber President and CEO Shannon Full and Executive Vice President Katherine Grindberg sit down with the 2026 Legacy Leader, Marilyn Guy, to discuss a lifetime dedicated to education, mentorship and community stewardship. With over 50 years of experience shaping institutions and students alike, Marilyn reflects on her journey from the classroom to leadership roles at Concordia College and Oak Grove.
