 Mark's
dedication to public service is shown by his extensive
volunteer and community service."I learned at a very
young age that we all have a responsibility to give back
to the community, and that one person really can make a
difference."
Mark currently volunteers his time on the board of
directors of the following organizations and charities:
Adoption Exchange
Clark County Public Education Foundation
CLASS! Publications Advisory Board
Kierra Harrison Foundation for Child Safety
Nevada Arts Council
Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth
Nevada Public Education Foundation
Opportunity Village
In addition, Mark is a member of the Paradise
Democratic Club (past board member), Seniors United
(past board member), Nevada Association of Manufactured
Homeowners, Nevada Car Owners Association, Stop DUI,
Clark County PAYBAC Program, the Southeast Valley
Coalition of Concerned Citizens (co-founder and past
board member), various parent-teach associations in
District 18, the Head Start Partners Program, and the
National American Notch Association. Mark is also widely
recognized for his volunteer activities with the
School-Community Partnership Program.
"I am always available to help a school or a
community organization with a project, whether it’s
donating a prize for a carnival raffle or speaking to
students about their rights and responsibilities as
Americans."
Mark is not afraid to roll up sleeves and pitch in
when and where needed, to keep District 18 a vibrant and
healthy community. When a flood devastated parts of the
district, Mark helped with the sandbagging efforts, and
then worked with community leaders to fast track the
approval of the Duck Creek Wash. When families were
evacuated from their homes during a bomb scare, Mark
brought food – and candy for the kids – to the shelter.
And, when Mark sees graffiti in the district, he usually
grabs a can of spray paint from his car to clean it up!
