Kevin Anderson appointment

The TEDCO CEO and longtime friend testified to Anderson's leadership and integrity since their Stanford days.

An attorney of 40 years said Anderson's experience makes him ideally suited to chair the Planning Board.

The First Generation College Foundation CEO praised Anderson's mentorship of county youth and endorsed the appointment.

Criticized the lack of public notice and working links for the appointment packet, and asked the Council to defer the appointment to September for proper transparency.

Wished Anderson well but criticized the appointment process and urged oversight and transparency from the Council and state legislature.

The County Executive's deputy chief of staff spoke in support of the Anderson nomination and later on behalf of the administration regarding the National Harbor resolution.
