In addition to his role at The Riedel & Cody Fund, Mark is active in civic, philanthropic, educational, and commercial endeavors. He serves on several Boards of Directors, including the Housatonic Community College Foundation, the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority, the Council of Churches of Greater Bridgeport, and the Board of Visitors of Vanderbilt University.
