Mark Batten, Executive Director of Community Engagement
Mark Batten is a servant leader who brings people together for transformational impact in our communities. He currently serves as the Executive Director of Community Engagement with Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools where he leads efforts to strengthen partnerships and create sustainable supports that empower students and educators. Prior to working in public education, Mark served in roles involving grant making, higher education admissions, integrated marketing, prison chaplaincy, and youth ministry. He volunteers with his local church and several nonprofits, and is on the Boards of Big Brothers Big Sisters Services, HandsOn Northwest North Carolina, and the Youth Development Division of the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina. Mark draws inspiration from his upbringing on a small farm in eastern North Carolina where he witnessed the value of community-centered relationships. Mark’s grandmother was highly influential in his dedication to service. She modeled humility and reminded him that no matter what you do, people always remember how you make them feel. Mark is a girl dad to 2 and is married to his high school sweetheart. He enjoys kayaking, hiking, building LEGO with his daughters, and cooking up new and creative dishes in the kitchen.
