Malik Evans comes to City Council with a long record of community
involvement and leadership in the Rochester area. His service to the Rochester
community began when he was just a teen growing up in Rochester and attending
Wilson Magnet High School. Malik initiated the City-County Youth Council to
help get young people in Monroe County involved in community service. His
extensive community involvement led to speaking engagements throughout the
country on the role youth can play in community transformation. His election to
council is a homecoming having served previously as Legislative Aide to
Rochester City Council from 2000-2002.
In 2003, he decided to apply his leadership skills to public
service by running for election to the Rochester Board of Education. Upon
winning the city-wide election, Malik became the youngest person ever elected
to the Board. As a member of the governing board of one of the largest urban
school districts in the State, Malik’s motto was simple: “We can find solutions
to our most pressing challenges by focusing on finding common ground”. He
served as Board President from 2008 through 2013, and has worked tirelessly to
ensure that students in Rochester had access to the same opportunities that he
had. Evans has spent a career in finance having worked for M&T Bank
Corporation and is currently employed by ESL Federal Credit Union.
Malik is currently involved with many boards and committees including; the
Charitable Distributions Committee at the Rochester Area Community Foundation,
Hope Hall School Board of Directors, and serves as a trustee on the Rochester
Museum and Science Center Board, Path Stone Enterprise Center Board, RIT’s
Center for Urban Entrepreneurship Advisory Board along with numerous other
community-impacting activities. Malik is a graduate of the University of
Rochester and has a Master of Science in Management from Nazareth College.
Malik's latest challenge is running after his young sons, who
serve as daily reminders that we must create a brighter future for the coming
generation.
