Mark Dirksen
With 40+ years in non-profit, business, and fine arts activities Mark Dirksen has worked on all sides of institutional life. His early training as a choral musician / conductor gives him front-line experience in group dynamics and leadership under pressure. As the Deputy for Administration at the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island he was the architect and implementer of a new three-year budget cycle. He brought that financial expertise to his five-year service on the Board of the North Shore (Boston) Association of Realtors as Treasurer and Secretary. And his diverse experience as a churchman, volunteer, business manager, and Realtor® gives him operational expertise along with political acumen and deep systemic insight. His special passions are Board Development & Training, Financial Stewardship, and Personality Types / Styles (Meyer-Briggs, DISC, Enneagram.)
