From the Chair of the Board, San Diego Military Advisory Council

SDMAC Members, Partners and Supporters,

As some of you may have heard, after more than six years of dedicated service, Mark Balmert, our esteemed President and CEO, has retired from his post, effective March 14, 2024.

Mark has been an invaluable leader for our organization, contributing tirelessly to the advancement of our mission and the strength of the military within the San Diego community. Under his guidance, SDMAC has become a cornerstone of support for military personnel and their families and a leading voice for our military, servicemembers, and veterans in the San Diego region and across the state. Mark’s vision, passion, and commitment have been instrumental in shaping SDMAC into the influential force it is today.

While Mark’s retirement marks the end of an era, it also signifies the beginning of a new chapter for the San Diego Military Advisory Council. SDMAC’s Board of Directors has begun an executive search process to identify candidates to fill the position of President and CEO.

The position opening will soon be posted, including details on the submission of resumes.

In the meantime, the Board has appointed Board member and past-Chair Paul Pearigen to serve as Interim President and CEO until the selection and hiring of the next leader is complete.

Please join me in expressing our heartfelt gratitude to Mark for his outstanding leadership and unwavering dedication throughout the years. We are immensely grateful for his contributions and wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to SDMAC.

Thanks and stay well,

Victor Ramsauer
