Stephen recently retired from the Air Force after 32 years of dedicated service. He now serves on the Board of Directors of the Jack and Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation (JAJF.org) treating the families not the cancer, as well as Education Services of America (ESA), dba EdSouth/Services, a non-profit financial holding company focused on expanding educational opportunities and financial literacy.

Prior to his retirement Stephen was the Director of Programs for the United States Air Force overseeing the development, justification, and consolidation of the Air Forces five year financial plan totaling over $750B in resources and manpower. Previously, he served as the Director of Plans, Programs, Requirements, and Manpower for the United States Special Operations Command where he oversaw the development and consolidation of the Special Operations five year plan integrating the plans of USSOCOM’s five component commands. Stephen also served as the Deputy Commanding General of the Joint Special Operations Command where he helped lead global operations in support of regional commanders. Stephen has commanded at the Squadron, Group and Wing level. During his command of the 27th Special Operations Wing he was responsible for over 4000 Airmen, Civilians and their families, $15B worth of infrastructure and aircraft, a multi year construction program worth $1.5B, the operations of a military base, airfield, training range, and the execution of over 5000 combat hours. He has accumulated years of deployments to combat operations in Bosnia, Somalia, Haiti, Afghanistan and Iraq and participating in some of the nations most time sensitive operations.

After an extensive career in military leadership positions, Major General Stephen Clark knows there's a compelling distinction between a quality manager and a high-performing leader. At their extremes, people are compelled to follow managers because they have to, while they willingly follow leaders because they want to.
As such, highly effective leaders understand that true leadership is a human endeavor and requires understanding the aspirations, motivations and abilities of individuals and the development of an empathetic relationship. At the core of servant leadership is the belief that if we take care of our people, they will take care of the business. Key to building relationships is the ability to clearly communicate the vision, values and limitations that we expect our businesses to operate within through actions, words and behavior. Making the transition from manager to leader is a journey of experience, learning, failure and introspection…along with a heavy dose of courage and humility.
