Mark Welker, Vice President
Buford, GA
Mark fell for SAABs when his brother bought a brand-new 1983 900 Turbo (White on Red cloth) and drove from L.A. to Phoenix and back (very fast!!). In 2008 he picked up a 1999 9-3 SE (HOT), which led to much research about the Saab community and joining the Saab Club of Atlanta, where Mark is now a past President. SCA hosted SOC2016, during which Mark joined the SCNA Board as a Director. In 2020, he became SCNA Secretary and in 2023 was elected as Vice President. Mark not only has a great passion for these fine cars but also for the diverse members of the Saab community and their enthusiastic desire to preserve them. Since SCNA has the same mission, working for the community as a Board member (and the Event Coordinator since 2019), has brought him great enjoyment. Mark’s passion for the community also led to his obtaining a large amount of used parts and founding Saabpartsconnection.com for those SAAB fans who want to keep their cars on the road!!
