Fundraising Coach honored as one of Maine's first ever "40 under Forty"

Last month, Maine Today Media announced that Marc A. Pitman was one of the Maine's top 40 leaders under the age of forty.

40 under 40 recognition is familiar in more populated areas, but this was the first time it was ever offered in Maine. Honorees were chosen from recommendations that came in from all over the state.

In a recent interview, Marc said, "I'm incredibly honored. And I just squeaked by! I turn 40 in January!"
