2026 CHAIR | REAL ESTATE/RESIDENTIAL
RE/MAX Concepts - Marva McCarty
Realtor
Helping my clients/friends take the next step in their life is my mission in life. As a real estate professional I love to work with home buyers and sellers who are ready to buy their first house, or their "forever" house, or sell a home that is no-longer working for their current needs and lifestyle so they can move on.  Although I do specialize in working with seniors and empty nesters, I love helping all clients at important junctures in their lives--  finding the home that works for them and their desired life style. My style is to work in a partnership with my clients. My goal is to explain the process, to give clients peace of mind that everything is being handled professionally, and to make their move as stress free and easy as possible.  For a "Simply Marva-lous Move" call Marva.

Food Bank of Iowa
Donor Relations Manager

I recently returned to Des Moines after living in Holland, Michigan for 9 years.  I work with corporations and organizations to raise funds for Food Bank of Iowa. We are in 55 counties in Iowa and have 700 partners including pantries, school pantries, veterans and senior programs, youth services and backpack programs for elementary students.  Right now, food insecurity is at record levels.  Iowa is among three states which saw the largest increase (44.6%) in the number of food-insecure people in Feeding America's latest "Map the Meal Gap" report.  15.4% of Iowa children face hunger and 37% of Iowa households do not make enough to cover basic needs.  I am passionate about this vital work and helping those in need in our communities.  We'd love to have your organization come and tour and/or volunteer with us.

Michael Fitzwater
LAWN CARE
Mfitz Services LLC
Owner
Hi, I’m Michael Fitzwater, owner of Mfitz Services LLC. I started this business to offer honest, reliable junk removal and cleanup services to the community I call home. Before Mfitz Services, I managed delivery operations, trained commercial drivers, and earned an associate-equivalent degree from the University of Toyota. I also served as a volunteer firefighter in Lebanon, Oregon—an experience that taught me teamwork, pressure management, and community service. Outside of work, I’ve volunteered over 200 hours at SafeHaven Humane Society, helping animals and giving back to a cause I care about deeply. That same commitment drives how I serve customers today. When you hire Mfitz Services, you’re working directly with me—not a franchise. I bring the tools, the truck, and the work ethic to every job. I’m also an avid hiker, raised in Oregon. Being in nature reminds me why keeping our communities clean matters—and that same respect shows in my work.
