Commerce Lexington Congratulates Mark Turner on 25 Years of Service

​Commerce Lexington is proud to recognize Mark Turner for his 25 years of service to the organization and our region. Since his hiring in January 2001, he has coordinated Commerce Lexington’s communications initiatives to promote its programs, services and policy positions, as well as the region’s positive attributes, to member investors and local and national media. Mark has also managed many print publications and digital communications, built Commerce Lexington’s social media presence from the ground up, and provided promotional and design support for a variety of events.

I can say without a doubt that Mark’s efforts have raised the profile and visibility of our organization across the Commonwealth. Under his steady leadership, Commerce Lexington has been recognized with several awards for communications excellence from a variety of organizations, and he was instrumental to our recognition as Chamber of the Year by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) in 2016.”

It has been an honor to be a part of the Commerce Lexington family for 25 years. It’s an organization where each day you can see the positive impact you have made on the community and region. That means a lot to me, because we all want to make Greater Lexington the best it can be.”
