Jason Whong is publisher of The Business Monthly, the essential business publication of Howard and Anne Arundel counties in Maryland. The Business Monthly is distributed at more than 325 outlets and reaches more than 55,000 readers.

Whong has lived in Howard County since 2015, and is the parent of two children who attend Howard County Public Schools: Cradlerock Elementary School and Lake Elkhorn Middle School. 

Whong grew up in Montgomery County and credits the opportunities afforded to him attending public schools as well as the education he received and the people he met for shaping him into the person he is today. 

He joined the Bright Minds Foundation as a board member because he wants all children to have an equal opportunity to receive a great public education.
