MDC Board of Director Spotlight
Barry Horseman, Second Vice President of the Midland Development Corporation Board of Directors, should not only be commended on his commitment to the MDC, but his devotion to Midland’s higher education achievements.
Barry is the Director of Workforce Education for Midland College, where he oversees all vocational non-credit training including continuing education, truck driving, petroleum professional training, and business customized training. Barry also manages all federal and state funding grants that support vocational training programs.
He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of Texas at the Permian Basin, and is charged with the Claydesta/Midland College opportunity zone for the MDC. Barry is a member of the Applied Petroleum Technology Academy (APTA) Board of Directors who provide oil industry training for international oil companies.
When asked what first attracted Horseman to the MDC, there was no delay in his response. “I have always believed that a pro-active economic development plan is vital to every community whether it be a large metropolitan city or a small town. My desire to serve on the board revolves around the prospect of working across the table from a company representative from outside the area considering Midland as its next expansion location or the local business owner that needs to expand to be able to provide their services to existing and potential new clients.”
