The Maryland Free Enterprise Foundation (Maryland Free), a statewide, non-partisan, pro-business/pro-jobs organization, has named AT&T Regional Director, LaTara Harris to its board of directors.

After more than ten years with the Maryland Business Roundtable for Education, where she held a variety of roles, including director of partnerships and outreach, Harris joined AT&T in 2013. Her background in finance, management consulting, and accounting adds to her business skills and savvy. As Regional Director for External & Legislative Affairs at AT&T, Harris’ strong grasp of public policy issues, service in her community, and proven record of building business partnerships in the region made her a logical choice for her position, which focuses on Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Named as one of Maryland’s Top 100 Women in 2015 and Minority Business Leader in Washington, DC in 2017, and possessing extensive board leadership experience in Greater Washington, Harris is an excellent addition to the 36-year-old Maryland Free. “LaTara brings broad and unique perspectives to our board, with an amazing array of great relationships around the state – on both sides of the political aisle. AT&T is such a great partner, and we’re very grateful that they are willing to share LaTara’s considerable talents with us” said Maryland Free President, Duane Carey.
