Valley National and I are pleased to announce the addition of two new employees – Douglas Marcincin and Laura Morganelli as entry-level professionals.  Both Doug and Laura have their roots in the Lehigh Valley having attended both high school and college in the Valley.  Doug is a Lehigh grad and Laura is a DeSales grad-both in the Class of 2013.  In addition to learning how to get things done at Valley National and studying for the myriad of exams required in the financial services industry, both Doug and Laura will be very busy helping to convert Valley National’s comprehensive data base program to a new, more powerful data base – a big project.  I am especially pleased in announcing their employment as part of Valley National’s effort to attract the best and the brightest college grads so as to keep that talent in the Valley.
