Marcy Hawley

Board of Trustees

Marcy is co-owner and publisher of Orange Frazer Press, Inc., an independent book publisher in its thirty-fourth year that serves a local, regional, and international author and client base. The company has won numerous awards for their product quality along with kudos from clients ranging from nonprofit organizations to universities to Fortune 500 companies. From 2009 through 2015 she was a member, then vice chair, then board chair of Clinton County's Clinton Memorial Hospital during which time she was integral in facilitating its sale (and thus its survival) to Regional Health Care Partners (Nashville, Tennessee). Marcy's local interest in Wilmington's downtown development has included purchasing and renovating four Main Street buildings, comanaging the Murphy Theatre in the early 90s, and serving fifteen years on the Downtown Community Improvement Corporation. She also served fifteen years on Wilmington City Schools Diversity Committee. Her degree is in education from The Defiance College, Defiance, Ohio, an institution she chose from one thousand miles away, thinking it would be the perfect place for her 1960s activist mindset. While that notion was quickly dispelled, her passion for education and social justice was not.
