Elizabethtown College alumni Carl Marrara \u201909 and Martina White \u201910 were named to City & State Pennsylvania<\/em> magazine\u2019s \u201cForty Under 40\u201d list.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Forty Under 40 awards recognize Central PA\u2019s leaders who are under the age of 40 based on their professional accomplishments, community service, and commitment to inspiring change. They are selected by an outside panel of judges that includes previous winners.<\/p>\n

Carl Marrara \u201909 \u2013 Bachelor of Arts, Political Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carl Marrara \u201909<\/p><\/div>\n

Marrara currently serves as the Vice President of Government Affairs for the Pennsylvania Manufacturers\u2019 Association, the state-wide, nonprofit, trade organization representing the manufacturing sector in the commonwealth\u2019s public policy process. He also serves as an adjunct professor at New England College in their Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness and International Relations and Diplomacy programs.<\/p>\n

Marrara, who studied Political Science while at Etown, said the experiential learning component of an Etown education is what\u00a0jumpstarted his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing close to Harrisburg and having the flexibility to pursue several official and unofficial internships while I was a student was essential,\u201d Marrara said. \u201cThis is an industry where connections and relationships are key, and being able to establish those networks before graduating put me a step ahead in a meaningful career.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Martina White \u201910 \u2013 Bachelor of Science, Business Administration<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Martina White \u201910<\/p><\/div>\n

White, who was a Business Administration major at Etown, serves as a Pennsylvania State Representative, where she has the honor of representing the needs and concerns of approximately 67,000 citizens of Northeast Philadelphia in Harrisburg. This includes being their voice on legislation as well as helping them navigate the maze of government to address constituent service issues, meeting with residents, local businesses, community groups, neighborhood groups and more.<\/p>\n

She also serves in a leadership role in the Majority Caucus in the state House of Representatives helping to guide legislative initiatives for the coming year.<\/p>\n

\u201cEtown taught me how to think critically about issues,\u201d White said. \u201cIt taught me to further understand people’s perspectives. It taught me to look beyond the surface of things and how to build consensus and bring people together. Each of these are qualities that I believe are critical in being a successful legislator and that I use every day. They are also qualities that appeal to me because they fit into my mindset of not being a partisan, but rather someone who works toward solutions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
