“As an active business leader in the State of Maryland and Prince George’s County, Mr. Adams has been instrumental in advancing both Minority Business Enterprise and Diversity of Business initiatives in the National Capitol Region,” his LinkedIn bio states. “For his steadfast resolve in these endeavors, as well as his philanthropic activities in support of education and disadvantaged youth, Mr. Adams has been the recipient of numerous awards, and recognized as a champion and leader of diversity-based business solutions.”
