Dear
Web Guest,
Welcome to the Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber, Maryland’s only regional
chamber of commerce, serving the heart of America’s fourth-largest marketplace.
It is our privilege to provide on a daily basis on-call consultation services
to our varied members, fielding a wide array of questions about government, procurement,
permitting, marketing, legislation and more. We are a chamber that asks you
to think of us as the first place to call for help in finding solutions to your
business challenges.
Our strength is developed through the partnerships and strategic alliances
we have forged with institutions, organizations and people throughout the region.
As serial, social entrepreneurs, we started the first highway information centers
in Maryland, the first one-stop employment center and for two decades were the only
chamber in America to conceive, develop and manage a regional transit system, winning
national recognition along the way.
We were also the first chamber to develop an electric purchasing cooperative
on Maryland’s western shore. That program now includes a residential cooperative
available to your employees. We’ve also developed a strategic alliance with
Office Depot to provide your business (and your employees) with a substantive discount
program. If you’ve not been a part of these programs—your opportunity awaits.
Providing real and timely solutions to difficult issues is what makes this chamber
an effective partner for you, bringing a tremendous return on your investment along
with a quality of life within the community that benefits you and your workforce.
We also provide business opportunities through a variety of networking
events. This year our breakfast at the Maritime Institute drew more than 250
attendees! We help sharpen your business acumen through task forces, committees
and special programs and help you obtain business through our Annual Procurement
Fair and the Business & Technology Showcase. We have faithfully represented
the interests of business before numerous legislative bodies and commissions, while
at the same time developing excellent working partnerships with government, academe
and institutions.
Please review the information and the resources contained within this website.
If you are not a member, we invite you to become part of this dynamic, business-focused
organization. To our members, we offer our thanks for helping make the Baltimore
Washington Corridor one of the most dynamic regions in the world.
Sincerely yours,
Walt Townshend
President & CEO
