In 2004, Wells Fargo received the first Anita and Stanley Hirsh Award, presented annually by JFS to an individual, organization, or corporation that has made a significant, ongoing contribution of service and/or financial support to JFS. The award was named in memory of long-time JFS supporter Stanley Hirsh.

He is responsible for Wells Fargo’s nine corporate banking offices in the U.S., its financial institutions division, and the California government, education and labor division. In addition, Marks’ responsibilities include Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, a provider of stock transfer and related services to public companies and their shareholders.
