To know Marc Cohen is to have a first-hand account of dedication, hard work, and positive values. All things necessary for keeping Bensalem a great place to live and raise a family, and he has proven year after year to be a key player in that strive. As we celebrate his commitment to the Bensalem Township School District, we would like to recognize just a few of his many achievements. Marc is involved in so many activities outside of his duties as School Director, he volunteers with and helped form the Bensalem Education Foundation, where he serves as Treasurer; works with Just for Kids Education Foundation; Bensalem Rotary; Southampton Tennis Club; The Grace Project; and as a mentor to many recovery groups. Marc is one of a kind in Bensalem and a great and caring human being.  During his time as School Board Director, he has served on numerous committees and as Chairperson of the Personnel committee. Marc has been a great mentor, friend, and colleague to me during my tenure on the Board and I look forward to continuing to learn from his invaluable experiences. He is highly dedicated and understands what makes a school system a winning ecosystem. For Marc’s dedication of years to this School District, our children, township and our community, all volunteer, might I add, we are extremely grateful.
