Annual Membership Meeting: Building Bridges

Join us for the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce’s annual conference, "Building Bridges: The Power of Partnerships," where we explore how strategic collaboration can transform communities and ignite economic growth.

This year’s keynote speaker, Carson E. Henry III, Chief of Operations for the Silver Spring Urban District, along with Ryan Coleman, President of the NAACP-Randallstown, will share their insights on the critical role partnerships play in revitalizing local economies and addressing community challenges.

This conference will empower you to get involved, offering actionable steps to become a leader in forging partnerships that uplift both business and community. By collaborating with fellow members, local organizations, and government partners, you can make a lasting impact that benefits both your business and the broader Baltimore area.

Join us to discover how you can build bridges through partnership, foster economic growth, and play a pivotal role in the future of our community!

Attendees will enjoy a networking breakfast; hear from our keynote speakers; learn about chamber initiatives for the coming year; and learn how to have even more of a local impact!

Carson E. Henry III will discuss his experience leading Silver Spring’s urban transformation through collaboration with local businesses, government entities, and community organizations. His leadership has been instrumental in making Silver Spring a thriving example of main street success, proving that when business leaders, local officials, and community stakeholders unite, they can create vibrant, sustainable economic ecosystems. Henry’s expertise in fostering public-private partnerships will inspire attendees to think about how Greater Baltimore’s business community can drive local success.

Ryan Coleman, an advocate for social justice and economic opportunity, has seen firsthand how partnerships can be a catalyst for change. Under his leadership, the NAACP-Randallstown has made significant strides in addressing local crime through community engagement and partnership with law enforcement. Coleman will discuss how these collaborations not only improve public safety but also create a more stable environment for business growth. His approach to community partnerships demonstrates that economic growth and social well-being go hand in hand.

What Chamber Members Are Saying:

"Being an active member of the Chamber is such a meaningful & rewarding experience. The number of resources, networking opportunities, and connections throughout the county that come with being a member has made my time here well spent. Along with the Chamber’s resources, I’ve also received an enormous amount of support during the pandemic and with my business that I would not have received without my membership."

Heidi Hiller, CEO of Innovative Party Planners

"The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce has given me a greater appreciation for entrepreneurship and insight into running a small business. The networking opportunities are priceless. I’ve had the privilege to meet so many like-minded business owners who are passionate about their craft. I’ve been a member since 2018 and have witnessed the chamber go through so many obstacles and changes, but the camaraderie, support, and willingness to rally together in tough times really sets this chamber apart. As a business owner, it’s refreshing to know that this resource exists whose mission is to help us thrive and grow through networking, partnerships, and giving back to our community."

Kimberly Fernandez, Owner of Girlkin Lashes

"The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce is a crucial pillar of my business plan. The Chamber offers direct support relevant to my strategies for growth and sustainability. GBCC connects me with business owners and consumers in the community and fosters the relationship-building process. I find colleagues and business partners within the Chamber, and more importantly, reach clients outside the organization. My GBCC membership keeps my services and brand ‘top of mind’ and is a key aspect of my direct and drip marketing efforts. I show up and participate, and the GBCC model delivers."

Heidi Marie Bell, Owner at Heidi Marie Bell Photography

"The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce feels like home! It’s great to be around like-minded business owners who are invested in our community. These types of organizations are meant to be more than just a title, more than just a resume builder, but an impactful experience, and that can be found here. There’s passion at every event the chamber hosts, and I guarantee that if you’re invested and genuine about networking, you’ll find meaningful connections at the very first event you attend. I did!"

Marcellis Mosby II, Owner at Disinfect It

"Joining the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce was one of the best decisions for our business. We have been in business for 9 years and belong to many chambers and business associations. This has by far been the best! Beth and team do exactly what a chamber is supposed to do: they support your business, help you generate leads, and promote your business. They hold networking and events that will help your business grow!"
