Opinion St. program and host of the annual United Negro College Fund
Telethon. Throughout the years his company has produced many radio and TV
projects including his current program “The Willie Clark Show”.
Mr. Clark’s grasp of community issues and commitment to progress
created an opportunity for him to work as a political consultant. His
clients are among Florida’s Who’s Who in politics including, U. S.
Sen. Mel Martinez, U.S. Con. Corrine Brown, former Florida Sec. Of State
Glenda Hood and Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.

Mr. Clark has demonstrated a commitment to human growth and
development. He serves on the City of Orlando Minority Certification

Though he has received much acclaim for his contributions, his primary
objective is to serve the people and to inspire others to do the same.
