SILVER SPRING, MD—The Montgomery County Economic Development Corp. has created the role of president for the organization and recruited David Petr to be the first to fill the role.

Petr joins MCEDC from the Central Florida Development Council, where he was the president and CEO. He will begin his tenure with MCEDC on Sept. 6, 2016.

Petr helped transitioned the Central Florida Development Council from a public/private partnership to a private organization — skills that no doubt be useful as MCEDC grows into its own new public-private partnership status.
