WELCOME, MARK RODMAN!

MHPN welcomed Mark Rodman as the organization’s new executive director in April, 2019. Prior to joining the Net- work, Rodman was deputy state historic preservation offi- cer for History Colorado (SHPO), overseeing the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and the State His- torical Fund. Rodman previously was operations manager for the $50 million tax credit rehabilitation of the 600,000 square-foot Revolution Cotton Mill in Greensboro, NC. From 2002-08, he served as executive director of Colora- do Preservation, Inc. Rodman also worked as director of operations for Preservation North Carolina and an oper- ations manager for Wachovia Bank. He began his career as operations supervisor with the Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department of the City of Rock Hill, SC. Rodman holds a master’s degree in Historic Preservation Planning from Cornell University and an MBA from Winthrop Uni- versity. Mark hit the ground running in Michigan, imple- menting a variety of strategic initiatives and advocating tirelessly for the reinstatement of the state historic tax credit. MHPN is pleased to welcome Mark to Michigan and is glad to have him leading the organization!
