Donate to the Margie Cohen Memorial Fund 

Margie was recruited to the CNPC board in 2016 by Sally Bethea, former CNPC Board President. Knowing of Margie's passion for the outdoors and specifically for the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, she was the perfect fit for CNPC. With her extensive nonprofit experience, Margie provided important, strategic advice to help CNPC grow into the thriving organization that it is today. CNPC is grateful to have known and now celebrate Margie Cohen.
