Dru Schmidt-Perkins
After nearly 20 years, Dru Schmidt-Perkins is stepping down as head of 1000 Friends of Maryland.
Schmidt-Perkins, president and CEO of the organization, announced her decision today.
“I made a commitment to stay for two years and now — 19 incredible years later — I have decided it’s time to try something new,” Schmidt-Perkins said in a statement.

The board of directors intends to start a search for her replacement this spring.
