Marlene is the Director of Marketing and Communications at New Dawn Technologies. Marlene joined New Dawn in September 2004 and, in the past seven years, she has become intimately familiar with court technology.

In addition to her work at New Dawn, Marlene has also participated in a number of industry-relevant committees, where she served as:
- The Standards Chair of FACT (Forum on the Advancement of Court Technology) since 2007; and, as Chair of FACT since Feb 2011, where she launched a new brand strategy, governance structure, strategic plan, and website.
- The sole industry representative on the Court Technology Framework Working Group, which is dedicated to enhancing the use of and furthering education of the framework. The group’s work has morphed into working on the next generation of Court Technology Standards, a project sponsored by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) and the Joint Technology Committee (JTC) of the National Association for Court Management (NACM) and Consortium of State Court Administrators (COSCA).

In her capacity as Chair of the IJIS Institute Court Advisory Committee, Marlene will ensure the committee will contribute to the advancement of information sharing standards between courts and justice, law enforcement, corrections, health and human services, and other stakeholders. Although there has been extensive work within the courts community regarding national information sharing standards, significant effort remains to advance the adoption and use of these standards in support of court information sharing.
