Voter Participation Center (VPC) Organization

Voter Participation Center Names Mark Glaze as Executive Director

Mark Glaze, the former head of the nation’s largest gun safety group, has been named Executive Director of Voter Participation Center (VPC), the non-profit, non-partisan organization that is spearheading a national campaign to register and turn out unmarried women and other historically underrepresented groups in America.

Glaze will also manage VPC’s sister organization, Women’s Voices Women Vote Action Fund, which mobilizes unmarried women to participate in our democracy.

Glaze, former head of Everytown for Gun Safety, founded by Michael Bloomberg, will lead VPC’s efforts to boost the civic engagement of the New American Majority — people of color, unmarried women and millennials — in the upcoming 2016 elections and the years leading to the all - important congressional redistricting in 2020.

As of the 2014 election cycle, those Americans constituted nearly 57 percent of the public – but were only 48 percent of the voters who showed up last November.

The Voter Participation Center, led by President and Founder Page Gardner, has helped 2.6 million Americans to register and vote since its founding in 2003.

“We’re honored to welcome a trusted professional like Mark to Voter Participation Center. His impressive record of building organizations and fighting for social change will help us to mobilize the New American Majority, particularly unmarried women, in the upcoming elections and for a long time to come.”
