Bill Henry brings a wealth of experience across the public, private, and non-profit sectors to his new job representing the City Council’s 4th District.

Before being elected to represent North and Northeast Baltimore’s 4th District on the City Council, Bill Henry spent eight years working in community development at the Patterson Park CDC, starting in community relations, organizational development and information technology, before moving on to residential and commercial development. Before Patterson Park, he spent almost seven years as staff in City Hall, first interning in the Mayor’s office under Kurt Schmoke and later serving in the City Council President’s office, working his way up from legislative aide under Mary Pat Clarke to chief of staff under Lawrence Bell. Bill also served as a congressional aide to Ben Cardin between “tours of duty” in City Hall, later working in the private sector as a community relations consultant.

For most of his life, Bill has been active in Baltimore’s civic affairs. He is a former board president of Citizens Planning and Housing Association and the Greater Homewood Community Corporation and has also served on the boards of the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Johns Hopkins Society of Black Alumni, the Radnor-Winston Improvement Association, the Greater Baltimore Young Democrats, the Mobtown Players community theater company. A longtime advocate for strengthening the York-Greenmount corridor, Bill co-chaired the Greenmount Avenue Revitalization Task Force and has served on the steering committee for the York Road Partnership.

A graduate of Loyola University, where he earned a master’s of business administration degree, with a concentration in finance, Bill’s undergraduate degree from the Johns Hopkins University is in social & behavioral sciences, with concentrations in urban studies and public policy. Bill also graduated from Loyola-Blakefield High School’s honors program and St. Mary’s parish school in Govans, and is a proud alumnus of the Greater Baltimore Committee’s LEADERship program.
