Mark was on the TSFA's Founding Education Committee that developed the Texas Master Florist Certification program, served on the TSFA Insurance Trust, chaired numerous TSFA and WTNM committees and served both TSFA and WTNM as President.. Jack Cross, TMFA shared that he was "honored to say that I was one of those inspired by their willingness to educate and train a young person. My first experience in the floral industry after graduating college was working for Mark Knox Flowers. This experience, along with the passion for the floral industry exhibited by Jane and Mark Knox, put me on the path to owning my own, successful flower shop."
