We are looking for an Executive Director committed to making their home in central Maryland known by many as “The Land of Pleasant Living.” This beautiful region has over ½ million residents who are drawn to the area’s quality of life on the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to its proximity to Baltimore. MD and Washington, D.C., this area’s vibrant communities, growing economies, great public and private schools and colleges and diverse community organizations and activities make the area an ideal place to raise a family. Housing options to match anyone’s desires -- rural life with room for animals, neighborhoods in the suburbs or in the city, or waterfront properties on creeks, rivers, or the Bay -- add to the region’s draw.
