WASHINGTON — Former Lynn and Saugus state representative Mark Falzone has been selected to serve as the next president of Scenic America, announced the organization’s chairman Ronald Lee Fleming.
“We are ecstatic to have Mark leading Scenic America,” said Fleming. “He brings a tremendous record of public service and advocacy to the helm of our organization, and we are confident that he will guide us to new heights in our mission to preserve and enhance America the Beautiful.”
Falzone comes to Scenic America after serving as Deputy Director of the National Immigration Forum. He also served five terms as a full-time elected member of the House of Representatives.
“I am honored by the opportunity to lead Scenic America,” said Falzone. “At age 14 I joined my first civic organization, a local conservation and open space protection group. In my career and in my life I have worked to protect and improve the visual environment, and I look forward to leading Scenic America to even greater achievements and success.”
During his legislative tenure, Falzone was chairman of the Legislative Library Caucus and mobilized hundreds of librarians through various associations across the state. His efforts brought unprecedented attention, appreciation and budgeting to libraries.
Falzone and Scenic America’s Board of Directors expressed their sincere gratitude to outgoing president Mary Tracy, who served the organization for eight years with tremendous energy, vision and dedication.
