Miracle Flights’ New CEO

In November 2015, after almost 30 years of leadership under founder Ann McGee, a new CEO took the helm at Las Vegas-based Miracle Flights.

Mark E. Brown, the new Chief Executive Officer for the organization, moves into the organization’s top role following extensive experience in government, lobbying, public relations, marketing and advertising. His experience also includes nonprofit work, such as serving as chair of the YMCA of Southern Nevada for two terms, managing philanthropic donations for the Howard Hughes Corporation and Station Casinos, and leading efforts to raise more than $25 million as the multi-year chair for the Clark County School Growth Committee.

Professionally, Brown arrives to the position at Miracle Flights following service as partner and president of R&R Partners, an all-encompassing communications corporation. His experience also includes roles with Zen Entertainment, The Howard Hughes Corporation and Station Casinos and work with the former Nevada Senator Chic Hecht. He helped found Service 1st Bank of Nevada and previously served as president of MBC Communications as well.
