Mark B. Mitchell – Planning & Zoning Commission Candidate

As a resident of Connecticut’s Capital Region, I bring decades of financial expertise, a strong record of public service, and a deep commitment to responsible, transparent government. With a career spanning state government, private industry, and higher education, I’m running to contribute my experience to thoughtful planning and zoning in Tolland.

Highlights and service:

• Former Finance and Administration Manager for a Fortune 500 company
• Director of Internal Audit in state government and with KPMG LLP
• Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), and Risk Management Assurance professional
• Holds an MBA in Finance and Investments and a BBA in Accounting from George Washington University
• AGA National President (2025–2026); former Chapter President and national speaker on government financial management
• Adjunct Instructor in Governmental Accounting at the Nelson A. Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy (2017–2019)
• Seminar leader and speaker at national conferences on public finance, internal controls, and auditing
• Known for fairness, critical thinking, and a strong belief in civic responsibility

​I care deeply about serving with integrity and helping ensure Tolland’s planning decisions are both fiscally sound and community-centered. With a balance of business acumen and public-sector insight, I’m ready to support smart, sustainable growth for the future of our town.
