Marge Wolf

Marge Wolf has put in two years as president of Main Street Rogers, which works to revitalize the city’s downtown while maintaining its history and charm.

But it’s about more than just keeping the downtown’s brick-laid streets. Wolf wants to give back to her community and has done so for years through a variety of organizations, appointments and efforts.

“I had a pretty good childhood, and I was raised in a large family and was taught right from wrong.” Wolf said. “Nonprofits deal with a lot of people that don’t have the opportunities that other people have, and that motivated me a lot.”

She’s helped increase Main Street Rogers’ membership by 50 percent since 2002, successfully incorporated the city’s downtown merchants into a nonprofit committee, directed the organization as it helps an estimated 42,000 people annually, played a major role in maintaining the downtown in the fastest-growing area of the state and educated area youth on the significance of history.

She’s done it by following a simple secret of success: Care about what you’re doing.

Wolf is also on the board of directors of the local Rotary and Rogers Little Theater and has served on several Rogers-Lowell Chamber of Commerce committees. She looks up to CEOs like Bill Gates, who make significant contributions to their communities.

In the past, she worked her way up to CEO of the United Way of Rogers-Lowell and served on Gov. Jim Guy Tucker’s Summit on the Prevention of Youth Crime. Wolf was also the first chair of the Benton County Teen Court Advisory Council and was a Benton County Quorum Court Justice of the Peace.
