The United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County has presented the Corporate-Individual Volunteer of the Year award to Marcus Peoples, Via Metropolitan Transit’s vice president of human resources, for his volunteerism throughout the community and his efforts to raise funds for the charitable organization.
“Marcus is an enthusiastic, high-energy leader committed to motivating others to be the best possible version of themselves they can be,” said Via President/CEO Jeff Arndt. “His commitment to synergy, collaboration, and valuing others for their differences and the experiences they bring to collective efforts is unparalleled. We are especially proud to have him leading our human resources efforts at Via.”
Peoples serves as the executive management representative for Via’s United Way Charitable Campaign. Under his leadership, Via had both the highest amount of contributions raised and the largest number of donors in the organization’s history of United Way campaigns.
“I’m very excited about being a part of the Via team, and humbled by this honor. I accept it on behalf of all of the Via employees who opened up their hearts and wallets to contribute to United Way, an organization that’s positively impacted so many lives,” said Peoples. “I also want to thank Via’s leadership and our steering committee for their time and efforts. None of this could be done without their support of United Way’s mission.”
