KEYNOTE SPEAKER : Mark Hackel, County Executive of Macomb

Mark A. Hackel was born and raised in Macomb County and never missed a day of classes as a student. He holds an associate degree from Macomb Community College, a bachelor’s degree from Wayne State University and a master’s in public administration from Central Michigan University. Mark is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy and had the distinct honor of being selected as the #1 recruit from his class at the Macomb Regional Police Academy.

Mark’s career in law enforcement began in 1981 as a dispatcher with the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office. During his 30-year career, he worked his way through every rank and was ultimately elected sheriff. In November 2010, Mark was elected Macomb’s first-ever county executive. In this position, he serves as a voice and an advocate for the county and works to make Macomb a great place to call home.

How to get involved:

Be a sponsor and share your expertise with a table of ten students. The luncheon allows business and community mentors to share both post-secondary and career experiences with UCS 6th grade students. The student will also be waiting to share their own dreams and aspirations with you, their professional role model for the luncheon.
