[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I served on the board with Mark for 3 years.  He never chaperoned for AAC.  Nor was he on deck during practices.  His little contact with swimmers would have been at the beginning of the year picnic with all AAC families, end of the year banquet with families, or 1 meet in concessions. Board members/ parents do not just roam the deck at practice or at meets. We are as shocked as everyone else.  There was not 1 indicator of inappropriate behavior from Mark Black in his duties on the board and he did not cross any lines in his contact with coaches, swimmers or other parents.  He acted professionally and was good at meditating team conflict.  I am in no way defending him.  He is a despicable human who has destroyed countless lives- including his family.  I am simply saying- he had this well hidden and fooled everyone. If you want his pic- his linked in is still up- he was a lawyer for the fdic[/quote]

I am an AAC parent and he was on deck during practices on occasion.  I have seen current board members (one woman in particular) that will be occasionally be on deck during practices.  The Board is secretive.  Sorry, it is true.  One the website and at the parent meeting they welcome all to the Board meetings.  But none of us have ever seen the email announcing the meetings and where they are located.  Most organizations send out reminders, encourage members to show up, or at least have a zoom link to join. Practices are open to the public, so I don't think it can be stopped but as a parent, it makes me realize that a person like Mark Black was also moving through the locker rooms and/or paying "attention" to young kids.[/quote]
