​Mark Gogal serves as vice president of workforce development for the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, bringing more than 30 years of experience in human resources, strategic planning, operations, and business management.

Behind every initiative and strategy, he implements a simple priority: supporting people.

Every day, Mark partners with leaders to strengthen culture, develop talent, improve retention, and create workplaces where staff can grow and thrive. From leading training and development initiatives to collaborating with educational institutions and workforce partners, Mark understands that leadership is more than just a position; it’s defined by the impact it has on others.

Here, he’ll challenge us to think differently about the essential people-management skills every leader must master, and how those qualities define true servant leadership. ​
