John Dockendorf started making a community presence in Western North Carolina on the Flat Rock Park Development Committee, which turned a 62-acre golf course into an incredible community park. Dockendorf also steered the playground development committee, and Flat Rock is now home to one of the finest playgrounds in North Carolina. Dockendorf has served as a board chairperson for Mountain Community School as well. That was partnered with Dockendorf’s role in helping found the French Broad River Academy in Asheville.

John Dockendorf’s community service expanded and continued to be as engaged as Dockendorf’s commitment to Adventure Treks. Starting in 2015, Dockendorf added to his engagement as a civic leader, being elected to the Flat Rock Village Council. As transportation representative for Flat Rock, Dockendorf worked on region-wide transportation issues as a representative of the French Broad Metropolitan Planning Organization and its prioritization Committee. He also served on the Henderson County Transportation Advisory Committee. All of these roles, each in their own engaging, constituted the more significant contribution Dockendorf provided his constituents f. By 2019, the commitments had been significant, and Dockendorf started to tailor things down gradually as he approached an early retirement.
