Executive profile:
Service to community is the lifelong mission of Reverend Henry Green. Reverend Green, a graduate of University of North Florida and Southwestern Seminary, served five churches as senior pastor from 1981 to 2014. A champion for early childhood education and certified in secondary education, he has taught public school in both Florida and Maryland.
In 2013, Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot recognized Reverend Green with the Golden Apple Award for his work in leading his church to begin the Backpack Buddies. Backpack Buddies provides the weekend nutrition needs for homeless children in Annapolis elementary schools. He gave oversight to weekly food distribution, helped the homeless in Annapolis through an annual Soup-ER Bowl fundraiser to support the Light House Shelter, promoted English classes for speakers of other languages, offered recovery programs for substance abuse, and provided assistance to those in crisis with utility turn-off and housing eviction notices. He also led the church to establish a business arrangement with T-Mobile that provided a new steeple and income for the church.
Local leaders have called on Reverend Green for leadership on committees and projects to reduce crime, address housing needs, give input to a future City Dock configuration, assist in the transition of administrations, and serve on the public transportation study committee. Working with the Chesapeake Bay Trust and the Spa Creek Conservancy, he led the church to install seven rain gardens on the property at the headwaters of Spa Creek in Annapolis, Maryland. The church now retains 97% of the runoff from its non-pervious surfaces. In 2013, he led the church to work with Anne Arundel County to restrict the runoff from Forest Drive through the church property into Spa Creek. These improvements will provide even greater environmental protection for Spa Creek and the Chesapeake Bay.
Reverend Green served on the National Advisory Council for Americans United for Separation of Church and State and hosted a television program in Pinellas County Florida sponsored by Americans United. He has been interviewed on BBC, CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal Report, and local media groups covering a variety of topics related to religious freedom, civil rights, and community service. As a community leader, he strives to bring communities together. He participated in the 2007 national meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) on building bridges between scientists, clergy, and the general public is an example of his commitment to understanding and collaboration. He is widely published and continues to be a voice for the needs of “the least” among us.
Following the 2004 tsunami in India, Dr. James Chamberlain asked Reverend Green to serve on his Salt Street Foundation Board. Friends in Maryland and many throughout country responded in support of Dr. Chamberlain’s work with Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI) to assist the people of Southern India.
Reverend Green is a past member of the Commission on Freedom, Justice, and Peace for the Baptist World Alliance, dealing with issues ranging from health care for victims of HIV-AIDS, to human rights violations, human trafficking (the new slavery), hunger, and religious freedom for all. He served on the Legislative Compensation Commission in 2004 and in 2007 was a member of the Governor’s Energy Transition Team and gave testimony on five separate occasions in support of wind power in Maryland. He continues to be a strong advocate for environmental policy with a commitment to renewable energy as a way to protect God’s creation and provide jobs for the future. Today, he supports the building of great infrastructure projects like Northeast Maglev, a high-speed electric train that will offer one-hour service from Washington, D.C. to New York City with stops in Baltimore and Philadelphia.
In 2007, he was appointed to the Maryland State Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors and reappointed to that board in 2011, serving as First Vice President. In addition to these State appointments, he has served on numerous boards and committees throughout his career. For almost a decade, he served as a member of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast Committee in Anne Arundel County. As Chair of the 2009 Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast, an annual event to support local non-profits, he led the way in raising significant contributions for these local groups. A past member of the Anne Arundel County Public Library Foundation Board, today he serves on their Diversity Advisory Board. In 2013, for fun, he was cast as an extra in two episodes for the second season of the Netflix hit TV series House of Cards.
Since 2011, Reverend Green has served as a member of the CareFirst BlueCross/BlueShield, Inc. (CFI) Board and continues to serve on several other boards and committees. His commitment to health care grew out of his early life experiences.
Reverend Green has been deeply involved in advocacy for good governance throughout his career. He believes good governance helps to build better communities. Twice he ran for public office. Once in Florida (1996) and the second time in Maryland (2014).
Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, he helped to maintain the family restaurant business and cared for his father who suffered from kidney failure until his death in 1981. His mother died in 2003, after struggling for years with COPD. These experiences helped him to understand the complexities of keeping a business alive and the challenges of a family dealing with catastrophic illness.
