Member Spotlight: Tyler R. Crowe
Who are you?
My name is Tyler Crowe. I was born in Baltimore and raised in Ellicott City, Maryland. After being homeschooled in high school, I studied Chinese and international agriculture at the University of Maryland-College Park. Professionally, I spent several years working in government relations for the Motion Picture Association and U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington and Singapore. In 2021, I entered government service as a telecommunications policy specialist for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. In this position, I advise the Department on telecommunications and digital economy policy. I also serve as a U.S. representative to conferences of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and Organization of American States (OAS). I speak Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French and some Mandarin Chinese. At home in Baltimore, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing racquet sports, weight training, cooking, and spending time outside. When I travel, I enjoy volunteering with the WorldWide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) program. With WWOOF, I have lived for a short time on farms in Canada, Argentina, France, Rwanda and Brazil.
How did you learn about the St. George's Society of Baltimore
I first learned about St. George’s Society through a friend at Grace & St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Baltimore. My first event was the Society’s Polo Match, which was rained out! Even still, I had a great time and met lots of friendly people.
What do you enjoy most about SGSB?
I joined the St. George’s Society of Baltimore in 2023, and it has quickly become one of the most meaningful communities I am part of. I first served on the Board as a Directors and now have the privilege of serving as an officer in the role of Almoner.
As Almoner, I am responsible for attending to the welfare of our members, visiting those who are sick or hospitalized, reporting to the Board and Membership on those who are ill or have passed away, expressing sympathy on behalf of the Society, and supporting members who may be facing hardship or distress. It is a solemn and important role, and one I am honored to fulfill.
The St. George’s Society finds its roots in the old “mutual aid” societies of Baltimore. Cultivating community through meaningful relationships, for over 150 years now, is what makes the Society special to me. I have made several friends my age through the St. George's Society and regularly spend time with them. In addition, the Society’s commitment to service also brings together people from various backgrounds and skill sets.
