I've known Mark for several years during which time I have done business with him (as both a buyer and a seller), worked with him as a Lions Club member, and watched him execute a significant community involvement program as a volunteer with the Chamber of Commerce. In all matters, Mark has exhibited the utmost integrity and professionalism while applying uncompromising dedication and commitment to getting results. He has a consistent record of success but, maybe more importantly, he has also demonstrated incredible poise and fortitude during difficult periods, never surrendering the fight or his optimism. Mark is highly regarded by his peers and within the community. He has my full endorsement and support. Lion Patrick Brenden, former City Council Member, City of Huntington Beach

"I have known and worked with Mark for a few years now, he is a dedicated Lion and the type of person that is always willing to work with and help with anything. Mark will make a great District Governor.? PDG Bob Susaeta, Orange County Central Lion

"In reviewing the new Lions magazine the Centennial issue of the first 100 years there were three phrases which caught my attention which best describes Mark Piva. The three are "we serve"," leadership qualities", and "seeing a need in the community and finding a solution to help fill that need". I believe Mark more than fits that description as our former President and currently our treasurer. As a member of Mark's home club and one for which I have been a member for almost 15 years, Huntington Beach Host, I believe Mark Piva would make an excellent District Governor." Lion Glen Miller, HBH Lion

Although I have known Mark for a relatively short time as a member of the Governor’s Cabinet, it is abundantly clear to me Mark will deliver as 2nd VP and more. Mark is always willing to take the extra step to ensure success no matter if the issue is small or large. I have found Mark to be a leader in every regard processing the skills required to serve in this senior Lion position. To serve as 2nd VP a clear understanding of Lion culture, communication skills and certain humility is required. Mark has it all as I experienced this several times during the past year. Always willing to offer assistance and sage advice to make me a better Zone Chair and Lion. Mark Piva is the perfect choice to take on the 2nd VP position and will enhance the Governor’s cabinet. I am proud to endorse Mark Piva as 2nd VP. Lion John Ulrich, Saddleback Zone C Chair

"I’ve been an (Ocean City, Maryland) Lion for 38+ years. I began visiting local, close by, Lions Club’s in Orange County since relocating to this area.
My difficult choice of Club’s to join became easy after visiting the Huntington Beach Lions Club while Mark Piva was King Lion and ‘experiencing’ two Mark ‘run’ meetings. Mark is on target...a great speaker AND listener, he is quick and smart, Mark has an easy way about himself to go with his keen sense of humor. Mark is a leader and Mark will be an excellent 2nd Vice District Governor. " Lion Mike Wicklein *****
Mark Piva is a dedicated Lion. Since I transferred to the Huntington Beach Host Lions Club 5 years ago I realized Mark was the Guru for all our Computer Problems. He is always willing to help any Lion who needs assistance with a problems or decisions. He is a great sounding board. Mark lead our club HBH to Club of the Year. He streamlined meetings so we were not wasting member’s time. As a District Governor Mark will listen to others opinions and then decide what is the best course of action for the whole of the District. His strong sense of digging deeper and understanding the whole picture will be an asset to 4L4. Lion Carol Linehan, HBH Lion

I have had the honor to work with Mark Piva in starting a new Lion's club in Orange County. He has provided us with top notch guidance to our small group. My son who is a Special Olympian and I are grateful for Mark's on-going support and dedication to the Lions organization. He has a wealth of knowledge that he generously shares with us new members of the Huntington Beach club. I am especially grateful for his patience and encouragement to my son.
