Meet our CEO, Michael Pokorny

Michael Pokorny is the founding CEO of the Maryland Community Investment Corporation. As a quasi-governmental entity, MCIC is dedicated to building long-term financial capacity and sustained investment in low-income communities across Maryland through New Markets Tax Credits.

Michael brings more than a decade of community development finance experience to this work.
