These Maryland Tech, Ed and Industry Leaders Are TEDCO’s Newest Board Officers

Published on :

Three leaders of premiere Maryland educational institutions (two in Baltimore, one south of DC) join an ex-IBM executive and consultancy president to lead the State of Maryland-connected funding entity TEDCO’s board of directors.
TEDCO announced its latest slate of board officers earlier this week, following a virtual election that took place at TEDCO’s Sept. 15 board meeting — the same date the new officers’ tenure took effect.
A statement noted that Omar S. Muhammad, the director of Morgan State University’s Entrepreneurial Development and Assistance Center, will return to chair the board for a second year. His election last year made him the first Black professional to lead TEDCO’s board in its near-quarter-century of existence.
