Volunteer of the Year

Volunteer of the Year! Mark Emerson is a retired Federal Agent and Navy Reserve Intelligence Officer.  During his career, he’s lived in ten states and worked in over fifteen foreign countries.  Mark and his wife ended up in Norman because of something his senior manager said when he was preparing for retirement.
Mark says his manager told him he had decided that his final move would be to Norman, Oklahoma and, if this highly educated and intelligent man, who had traveled the world, thought Norman was the place to retire, it must be a good place.  Mark says he never forgot his words, and, in 2014, he and his wife moved into their Norman home.  Their final move, too.
Mark has been a volunteer mediator with the Early Settlement Norman program for almost 4 years.  Mark says he truly enjoys serving as an ES Mediator because he can give back to the community in a meaningful and productive way.  “It is very satisfying to resolve emotional and sometimes complex issues using my conflict resolution experience”.
