The Enoch Pratt Free Library is proud to announce Benjamin Rosenberg has been elected the new Chair of the Pratt Library Boards of Directors and Trustees. Rosenberg is the founder and Chairman of Rosenberg Martin Greenberg, LLP, and is recognized as a preeminent litigator in the state of Maryland.

Rosenberg has been on the Pratt Library board since 2012, serving the past two years as the Vice-Chair.   “Since joining the Board of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, I have become convinced that the Library is the most important educational institution in Baltimore,” says Rosenberg.  “It provides a venue for hundreds of thousands of Baltimoreans to satisfy their intellectual curiosity, to explore job opportunities or to indulge in the simple pleasure of reading a good book.  I am humbled and honored to serve our City as the next Chair of the Pratt Library Board.”

Rosenberg succeeds Patricia Lasher, who has been Chair of the Pratt Library Board since 2013.
