My name is Tareque Farruk, and I'm running for the Anne Arundel County Public Schools Board of Education in District 5. My family and I moved to Cape St. Claire several years ago, embracing the vibrant community here. With my wife, Dr. Irum Tahir, and our two sons, Adam and Gabriel, who attend Maryland's public schools, we've made this area our forever home.
I've been active in community engagement through roles in the PTA and coaching youth sports, understanding the importance of service-based leadership. With over 30 years of experience in corporate America, including 15 years in leadership roles with private equity firms, I'm committed to leveraging my expertise in leadership development and organizational management to benefit Anne Arundel County's education system.
Throughout my career, I've held executive positions, accumulating extensive sales experience and overseeing eight-figure company sales. Now, as the owner of High Point Consulting, where I collaborate with my wife, we provide business development and growth coaching to professionals.
I'm passionate about uniting our community to enhance our children's education. With my background in leadership and administration, I'm ready to bring my dedication and service-oriented approach to ensure every student in Anne Arundel County receives a high-quality, inclusive education.
