Karen M. Marquez Honors. Mrs. Marquez was the Co-owner and Executive Vice President of MVM, Inc. a physical
security services firm based in Virginia. Karen passed
away in 2006 after a long battle with Cancer. During her 23-year
career in security Karen developed and implemented core administration and support functions at MVM, including

In 2006, in memory of MVM's co-founder Karen Marquez, MVM established the Karen Marquez Institute for the purpose
of helping Hispanic students obtain a college education. In 2010 the Karen Marquez Institute was transformed
into the Marquez Foundation, a not for profit organization to honor Karen Marquez and the causes she had a great
deal of passion for.
During her 25-year career as a business executive, Karen always appreciated the value a college education could
give to employees in the business world," said Dario Marquez, husband of the late Karen Marquez. "During her
25-year career as a business executive, Karen always appreciated the value a college education could give to
employees in the business world," said Dario Marquez, husband of the late Karen Marquez. Today, Karen's dream
is being realized through this Institute which bears her name, and as a family, we are proud to support her
memory." Top Hispanic College Fund scholars from across the country are flown to Washington, D.C., for a
series of workshops on interviewing, networking, and mentorship.
The program culminates in the annual Hispanic College Fund Scholarship Awards Gala, at which the students are
