SILVER SPRING, MD – The Montgomery County Planning Board, part of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, is pleased to announce that Commissioner Tina Patterson has won the 2018 Roaring Thirty Prodigy Award from the Women in Housing and Real Estate Ecosystem (NAWRB), a trade association representing female business owners in housing.
Patterson, who has served on the Planning Board since 2017, was honored at NAWRB’s fifth annual conference titled “Year of Women” and held in Chicago during July 2018.

“I am honored to be recognized as a trailblazer and thought leader in my field,” says Patterson. “This award means so much to me in representing how women can realize their dreams with perseverance, support and hard work.
