Marcia has proven she is the right person and posseses the vision to lead the charge to continue driving the brand forward,” said Dan McCarthy, chairman and CEO of NCI. "Marcia’s constant positive, productive leadership and ideas for Apartment Finder, along with the strong team that she’s assembled, will help build on its success.  I look forward to working with her to continue to build our business, customer by customer, market by market, through a constant process of innovation and delivering exceptional value.”
