Local leaders and organizations have been honoring the life of Prince George’s County Council Minority Business Enterprise Compliance Manager Mirinda Jackson, who died on March 20.
Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation (PGCEDC), in an X post on March 21, said Jackson was “a true champion of Prince George’s County” who “fought for balance in ensuring minority participation in business.”
Jackson was celebrated for her 15 years of work in the position and her dedication to equity in business.
“Mirinda was a wonderful person who brought a pragmatic, clear-thinking approach to the important work of advocating for small and minority businesses in Prince George’s County,” said David Iannucci, PGCEDC president and CEO. “She was always willing to help companies reach their ultimate goals. She will be sorely missed.”
Marva Jo Camp, PGCEDC board vice chair, also reflected on Jackson’s life and legacy.
“Mirinda reflected the best of Prince George’s County,” Camp said. “She was a tireless advocate for minority, small and women-owned businesses, she was a community servant and a mentor to so many. Mirinda was kind and caring, and she gave of herself unselfishly every day. I will miss my dear friend but will hold onto the memory of her beautiful smile, her wise counsel, and sweet spirit. Rest in Peace my good and faithful sister.”
Dawn Medley, FSC First president and CEO, noted Jackson was a member of her organization’s board for six years.
“Mirinda was more than just a colleague and board member; she was a visionary leader and icon of Prince George’s County whose dedication and passion were instrumental in shaping the direction of our organization,” Medley said. “She brought wisdom, experience, and unwavering commitment to every meeting and initiative, inspiring us all to strive for excellence.”
