Mark Boone - Grant Writing, Fundraising, and Connector

​Mark is a lifelong learner and advocate for public education. He has a passion for underserved populations and children of poverty have been a guide in his volunteerism. He believes education, in all forms, is key to walking alongside others as they create opportunity for themselves and their community. As a first-generation high school graduate, he is witness to achievement through learning and connecting people through one another.

A father of three adult children, Mark and his wife Christy have made New Albany home and a central point for all their volunteer activities.
