I've known John Clark for 23 years and have watched him achieve excellent results as the leader of two not-for-profits in Charlotte: Public Radio WDAV and Chamber Music at St. Peter's.  As a board member I worked with John during his entire 5-year tenure at  Chamber Music at St. Peter's and had first-hand knowledge of his ability to provide strategic direction and strong fund-raising ability, as well as to demonstrate exceptional fiscal discipline.  He will be an invaluable advisor to his clients because he has walked in their shoes.  -  Ann Depta, President, Meridian Consulting Group, Charlotte, North Carolina. 

 

I worked with John Clark when I served as vice president for advancement at Davidson College; he reported to me. John oversaw WDAV the classical public radio station that serves the Charlotte metropolitan area. This was a period of growth for the station. John was and is a visionary leader with fine management skills, a keen understanding of people, and a knack for making the right things happen!

I very much enjoyed working with him. - John Griffith, President, Presbyterian College.

 

During the early part of John's tenure as General Manager with WDAV-FM at Davidson College, I worked closely with him as the first Chair of the Community Advisory Board. I was impressed with his breadth of knowledge, creativity, and his ability to work effectively with a diverse group of volunteers and constituencies. His overall knowledge of the arts scene and nonprofit organizations is very impressive. - Kenneth Johnson, Executive Director, The Greenville Symphony

 

John Clark knows a great deal about strategic planning and working with people.  My conversations with John on these matters have always benefited me. - Norris Frederick, Ph.D., previously Vice President of Academic Affairs, Queens University of Charlotte, Charlotte, NC
