In October 2015, the Maryland Public-Private Partnership Marketing Corporation was established (Chapter 141, Acts of 2015).
The Corporation is to create a branding strategy for the State, and market Maryland's assets to out-of-state businesses. Further, public-private partnerships to encourage new businesses to locate and develop in Maryland are fostered by the Corporation, and out-of-state businesses are recruited for the same purposes.
The Economic Development Marketing Fund is administered by the Corporation (Code Economic Development Article, sec. 10-905).
A seventeen-member Board of Directors governs the Corporation. With Senate advice and consent, the Governor appoints fourteen members. The Senate President and House Speaker each appoint one nonvoting member, and one member serves ex officio (Code Economic Development Article, sec. 10-903).
