MITRE Corp.’s board of trustees announced Nov. 10 Mike Rogers and Cathy E. Minehan have been elected to the board.
“Mr. Rogers and Ms. Minehan have distinguished themselves as leaders in their respective areas,” MITRE President and CEO Alfred Grasso said. “The insights Mr. Rogers brings to MITRE from his experience in cybersecurity and intelligence will strengthen our ability to serve the public interest and our sponsors.”
