Terry R. Gilleland of Linthicum, a former student member of Anne Arundel County Board of Education, has been appointed to fill a District 32 vacancy on the county's Republican State Central Committee.
Gilleland replaces Michael W. Burns, a former delegate and state party official who resigned from the committee effective March 1. The committee chairman, Robert A. Costa, said Burns noted personal and professional considerations in a letter of resignation.
The new member is an account manager for Prometric Inc., a computer-based testing company, and expects to receive a master's degree in business administration from the University of Baltimore in May. He served as student member of the school board in the 1994-1995 school year and, among his political activities, ran as a candidate for the party's state central committee in 1998.
