Mark Gordon (born 1957) is the treasurer of the U.S. state of Wyoming. A Republican, he was appointed to the position by Governor Matt Mead on October 26, 2012, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Joseph B. Meyer. ==Background== Gordon is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Gordon, ranchers from Kaycee〔 in Johnson County in north central Wyoming. Reared on the Gordon Ranch, Gordon is still affiliated with the 48 Ranch Partnership in Kaycee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mark Gordon takes oath as Wyoming treasurer )〕 He graduated from St. Paul's School, an Episcopalian boarding school in Concord, New Hampshire, and Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont, where he met his first wife, the former Sarah Hildreth Gilmore. The couple married on March 7, 1981 in the Second Congregational Church in Greenfield, Massachusetts, where her parents resided. At the time of this marriage, owing to a longstanding friendship with energy strategist Amory Lovins and a desire to enlighten what he considered to be the environmental community’s misguided antipathy towards ranching, the 23-year-old Gordon was named the chairman of the Wyoming chapter of the Sierra Club and the representative from his home state to the environmental group Friends of the Earth, with headquarters in San Francisco, California. Gordon's activities with these groups diminished through the 1980s and ceased with the passing of his wife in August 1993. Gordon and his current wife, the former Jennie Muir, own the Merlin Ranch east of Buffalo, also in Johnson County,.〔 In 2009, their ranch received the Society for Range Management Wyoming Section "Excellence in Rangeland Stewardship" award. He was employed by Apache Corporation, a Houston based oil and gas fortune 500 company. Gordon is a former director of the District 10 Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Missouri, which serves Wyoming. Gordon is a former chairman of the Wyoming Environmental Quality Council. He has also served on the board of the Wyoming chapter of The Nature Conservancy. Until becoming treasurer, he served on the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resources Trust Board and the Johnson County School District No. 1 Board of Trustees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trevor Brown, "Mead selects treasurer" )〕 He has served on the board of Volunteers of America Northern Rockies and as vice-chair of the Wyoming Stock Growers Taxation Committee. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Gordon (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
