MEET THE RED FEATHER STAFF
Mark Hall, Executive Director
Flagstaff Office Mark joined the Red Feather team in 2013 as a board member while winding down a 20 year career working in Sales & Marketing, Finance, and Product Development at Microsoft. He left his Treasurer seat on the board in 2014 to become Executive Director of Red Feather. What drew him to this work is a strong sense of injustice from how indigenous people have historically and continue to be treated around the world, but particularly in this country. He hopes others are awakened to the disparate challenges that Native Americans face and are inspired to help. Mark loves art, music, literature, and enjoying the wonders and beauty in nature. 
Delisa deVargas, Accounting and Administrative Manager
Delisa grew up in Alaska, in a family with close ties to both the Arizona southwest and Alaska’s native community. The opportunity to become part of the Red Feather team in 2012 was doubly meaningful for her. First, it offered a way to give back to cultures that have profoundly impacted her own worldview. Second, it makes excellent use of the accounting and business administration skills Delisa developed while helping to manage and operate her Dad’s construction company in Alaska for 25 years. Delisa has lived in Montana with her daughter since 2008, where they enjoy the beautiful scenery, easy access to the outdoors and Bozeman’s lively downtown cultural scene. |
