Heart of Marin is a few hours of inspiration, a chance to hear about the work of passionate and committed individuals in our community and honor them for their leadership," says Linda Davis, the Center's CEO. "Last year was our largest event in history. It is truly an honor to be in a room with 750+ individuals who are champions for a cause close to their heart."
