Janice Posey will be acting CEO of the Howard County Economic Development Authority starting February 28, the day 17-year veteran in the post Richard W. "Dick" Story retires.
Posey has been senior vice president for marketing and business development since January 2006, and will serve in Story's place until a search for a replacement is completed, according to an announcement from the authority.
Before coming to Howard County, Posey worked for the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, part of a 20-year business career. The authority is a joint venture between the county's business community and the county government.
"Janice's experience and knowledge are instrumental to the organization during this period," said Catherine M. Ward, Vice chair of the authority's board of directors.
