President Mark Hanson

Mark purchased his first Porsche in 1989, a guards red 1980 SC. A few years later, he joined the Allegheny Region Porsche Club of America. Mark attended his first ARPCA business meeting and found that the most serious topic of the evening was increasing advertising revenue to help support the club newsletter. Thus began Mark’s participation in the club, securing additional advertisers for the Rundschau. A few months later “the board” created the new position of Advertising Chair. Mark was the first to hold the position.
After that first business meeting, Mark could be found at most club events: concours, road rallies, tech sessions and social events. His participation then evolved into organizing these events. In 1992, Mark attended his first driver’s education event at Mid-Ohio which quickly led to him becoming a member of the driver’s education operating team, chairing and co-chairing two events each year. Mark is also a member of our driver education program instructor corps. As a member of Allegheny Region for 24 years, Mark has occupied numerous club chair positions including: Advertising, Dealer Relations, Rally, Track, Social, PVGP Chair and Rundschau Editor. On two occasions Mark has twice been recognized as ARPCA “Enthusiast of the Year”. Mark clearly understands the many facets of our Club as a participant, contributor and organizer, which clearly qualifies him to lead our club in the coming year. |

Vice President Andy Schor

I have been a member of ARPCA for 14 years and have became more active recently. I have my own art framing business, providing framed record albums to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, as well as custom framing.
I also work part-time at FAST Company in Glenshaw as Office Manager. I have been a volunteer at the PVGP for over 25 years (jeez). I have been involved with vintage racing as a crew member and participant/volunteer in several DEs and auto-crosses over the years. Although I don’t have a “concours show car”, I enjoy a variety of car shows around the area. Since becoming more active with the club and getting to know many fellow members, I can say from my own experience, “cars bring us together, but it’s really the people that make this club special.” |

Treasurer Beth Core

As a member and officer of ARPCA, I take great pride in how successful and gracious our club has become over the years. The enthusiasm our members have shown for our several events has grown to an extraordinary level. Our club raised thousands of dollar this year for many local charities. The PVGP Charities, Children’s Dyslexia Center of Pittsburgh, Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank & PA Wounded Warriors to name a few. I want to thank our generous members for their commitment to the club for such a successful year.
We have several social and track events throughout the year and I would like to encourage those new and old members that haven’t participated to please sign up for an event or two. We are always happy to see new faces. With that said, we are closing out 2016 in a healthy financial state and we are already planning a full year of great events for 2017. It is for these reasons that I am running again for the Treasurer position for 2017. Please take the time to vote. Thank you for your support! |

Tim Glace recently joined the ARPCA after the purchase of his first Porsche; a 2015 Macan S. Tim returned to Pittsburgh in 2013 after a 33 year career with the Federal Government living in the Washington DC area, central Pennsylvania, and Stuttgart, Germany. Over the years, he has been an active participant in a number of car clubs including those for Mercedes Benz, Corvette, and Miata. He believes it is important to volunteer in pursuits that you are passionate about. |
