Leadership Change at Quality Matters

Quality Matters, the Maryland nonprofit that conducts quality assurance in online education, is getting a new executive director for the first time in a decade. Ron Legon, who has led the organization since 2006, announced Tuesday he will resign Jan. 18. Under Legon's leadership, QM spun off from the MarylandOnline consortium to become an independent organization. Legon will be replaced by Deborah Adair, QM's managing director and chief planning officer, who joined the organization in 2007.
