Mark Dessauer

Mark Dessauer seeks the lightbulb moment in his work with organizations, communities, and individuals. What is a lightbulb moment? It is a simple change of mind, seeing something in a different light, and deciding to act in another manner as a result. From a glimmer to a blinding flash of inspiration, these sparks are central to creating social change. Mark has worked for the last 25 years on creating change with think tanks, the U.S. embassy, state governments, universities, nonprofits, and foundations. From community solutions to childhood obesity prevention across the country to statewide early childhood and oral health campaigns, Mark’s communication work has focused on improving the health and well-being of hundreds of communities.
