Mike Henderson is the president and CEO of Associated Builders and Contractors Greater Baltimore, one of the largest business and advocacy groups in Maryland. Mike has more than 25 years of experience in leadership in workforce development, public affairs and innovation.
Mike is responsible for creating Project JumpStart, considered the most successful workforce development program in the region. JumpStart trains underserved Baltimore City residents, most of whom have been through the justice system, in the skilled trades and places them with commercial builders. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of success stories over the life of the program where participants now have meaningful, well-paying careers.
Last year in the midst of Covid, Mike moved their operations from the relatively safe confines of Towson to East Baltimore where they built and opened the Construction Education Academy. The CEA is the only facility of its kind in the region and each year will train thousands of Marylanders in the construction trades, operations and project management.
Before ABC Greater Baltimore, Mike worked as a public affairs specialist in Washington, D.C.
Over the years, Mike has been active in mentoring and in working with teenagers both in his career and as a volunteer for Acts for Youth where he served as their board chair. Mike is credited as the co-creator of the Maryland Center for Construction Education and Innovation, an industry think-tank at Towson University.
Mike lives in Towson with his wife Robin; they have three grown children and one grandchild.
