Curtis, Clark: - Clark Curtis has been in the communications business for over thirty years as a print and broadcast journalist and directing communications efforts in the public and private sectors. Through his communications and nonprofit work, he has dedicated himself to supporting the voices of those trying to make a positive impact globally and serving as a voice for the marginalized who have no voices of their own. Clark jumped at the opportunity to document and share the story of Mirsad Had&378;ikadi&263;, his former boss at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and longtime friend, upon learning of his decision to run for office--a story that Clark wanted to share with the rest of the world and perhaps could serve as a model for others. The Odyssey for Democracy is his first published book.
