MITRE announced its board of trustees has elected Mike Rogers to serve as its chairman.
A national security expert and a former U.S. representative from Michigan, Rogers joined MITRE’s board in 2016 and has served as vice chairman since 2018.
“Mike’s vast national security expertise and experience help strengthen MITRE’s whole-of-nation impact in global strategic competition and our work to help secure our economy, industrial base, borders, climate, and airspace,” said Jason Providakes, MITRE president and CEO.
While representing Michigan’s 8th Congressional District in the House from 2001 to 2015, Rogers served on the Energy and Commerce Committee and was chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Before serving in Congress, he was an officer in the U.S. Army and an FBI special agent. He also served in the Michigan State Senate. Since leaving public office, he founded the Mike Rogers Center for Intelligence and Global Affairs.
“I also want to thank our outgoing Chairman Donald Kerr, who served on our board for 12 years and as chairman since 2018,” Providakes said. “He led the board at a time of extraordinary growth for MITRE, including the launch of MITRE Engenuity, Accelerator, and MITRE Labs, as well as navigating through COVID-19.”
