June 4 Lunch Program
Speaker: Commissioner Mark Butler
Georgia Department of Labor
Mark Butler became Georgia’s ninth Commissioner of Labor on January 10, 2011.
Commissioner Butler, the first Republican to head the Georgia Department of Labor, is committed to fostering a new era in Georgia in cooperation with Gov. Nathan Deal. Commissioner Butler believes, the state has been presented with an opportunity to start over, reshaping the way it views the operations of a labor department as well as its relationship to economic development and the private sector.
The GDOL is a community-based department and will be judged on its customer service, Commissioner Butler has said. The department will focus not only on helping people apply for and receive state benefits in an efficient manner but it will also coordinate with private industry to ensure people are on a steady track toward re-employment.
Commissioner Butler served the previous eight years in the Georgia General Assembly, representing House District 18, comprised of Carroll and Haralson counties. During that time, he served as the Chairman of the House Appropriations Human Resources Sub-Committee, which oversees all operations of the budget for several of the largest state agencies, including the Departments of Labor, Human Services and Behavioral Health.
For more than 20 years, Commissioner Butler worked with his family’s small business in Carrollton as a real estate appraiser. He is committed to promoting business growth and development across Georgia. As a former business owner he understands that people want government agencies to offer ways to help, rather than obstruct, economic growth.
Commissioner Butler, a native of Carrollton, graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Public Administration. He has two children, a daughter Sydney and son Blake. Commissioner Butler and his family are members of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Carrollton.
