For the past 15 years, Clark has served as president of the James S. Bower Foundation, a local grant-maker that focuses on early childhood, education, end-of-life care, and the environment.
He has also been on the boards of Cottage Health, Santa Barbara Foundation, Storyteller Children’s Center, Carpinteria Children’s Project, Direct Relief International, and Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce.
In 2017 Clark was named Man of the Year by the Santa Barbara Foundation for his service and volunteerism.
