A decorated, 30-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, Chuck Marks
served as a Surface Warfare Officer, a fiscal policy advisor, a
strategic planner, a Middle East, NATO and United Nations specialist.
During his last five years in the Navy, he was the subject matter
specialist on building inclusive cultures to help counter destructive
behaviors such as sexual assault, suicide, domestic violence, substance
abuse, and gun violence. He has held multiple commands both ashore and
afloat, and has served overseas in Europe, the Middle East, and
Afghanistan.
Presently, Chuck has formed his own
company helping others to develop inclusive cultures, to understand
their own employees better, to build climates where all are invested in
the future of the organization, and to ensure that strategic planning
incorporates the best of military and civilian leadership lessons.
Active
in his church community, Chuck is presently serving on his vestry as
Senior Warden and is the high school leader for the Episcopal Youth
Community. He also serves as a member of the Chanco on the James Board
of Directors and was appointed one of two sub-committee leads for the
Diocesan Youth Ministry Task Force.
The Executive Board extends its grateful thanks to the Rev.
Anne Kirchmier, chair of the diocesan Program, Budget & Review
Committee who has served as interim treasurer since Johh Meek's
retirement in October 2018.
