For Cerritos Mayor Mark Pulido, being in leadership depended on incremental success

April 15, 2014 by Edwin Baloloy

If you ever spoke to any childhood friends of Cerritos Mayor Mark Pulido, they’ll tell you that serving as a leader was always his dream. Among his accomplishments growing up was serving as the President of the Filipino Club while at nationally-ranked Whitney High. Whether it was at the high school level or beyond, Mark always strived to be the face and voice of his group.

After he graduated high school, he would continue serving in leadership roles. At UCLA, he served as President of Samahang Pilipino and became the first Filipino American to be elected Student Body President.

Even during his time on the UCLA campus, Mark was leading Flipinos and preached Unity through social events.

During the Cerritos Council’s Annual Reorganization Meeting on March 13th, Mark placed things into perspective. “I feel very fortunate and just want to give back for all of my blessings. In elective office, I strive to set a positive example for my children and all our youth that you can truly make a difference in your local community and in the world.”

Listen to Mark Pulido tell his story at FACCOC’s 6th Annual “Secrets to Success” on April 26th!
