Congratulations to our friend Paul Tiburzi, who has been unanimously elected as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Greater Baltimore Committee (GBC). Paul, who is a partner at DLA Piper and Chair of their State Public Policy and Administrative Law Practice, will head the group, which is an organization of business and civic leaders concerned with issues relating to economic growth, job creation, workforce development, transportation and quality of life.

“It is a singular and unique honor to be elected chairman of the Greater Baltimore Committee. I accept this role with enthusiasm and optimism. The GBC has always been a special organization to me personally, to my law firm and to all of greater Baltimore,” Tiburzi said in a statement. “For over 60 years the GBC has made Baltimore a better place to live and work. I will work to continue that tradition. Baltimore should be, and can be, the greatest, safest, city in the country. We plan to be active, vocal and aggressive to make that happen. Working with Mayor Catherine Pugh and Governor Larry Hogan, the GBC will be a force for change and renewal for our city and region.”
