Member at Large

Marc Hechter

Marc Hechter is a Member-At-Large on the SNCSS Board.  Currently, he chairs the Department of Social Studies at Palo Verde High School and teaches government and economics.  Mr. Hechter graduated from UNLV a long time ago; then spent 25 years being mugged by reality in the public and private sectors before becoming a teacher.  Along the way he went to graduate school three times, twice at UNLV (public administration and education), and once at the University of Delaware (economic education and entrepreneurship).  Experience and education may not have made him expert at anything, but it has made him opinionated.
