Basu, Chairman & CEO of Sage Policy Group, spoke at the BWCC’s economic forecast luncheon, where he also unveiled a study commissioned by the BWCC entitled The Top Ten Superlatives of the Baltimore Washington Corridor underwritten by Tower Federal Credit Union.   To obtain a printed copy of the report, click the link above, or contact BWCC at 301-725-4000 or 410-792-9714.

BWCC's Snow Policy
SNOW POLICY for the Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber
 
In the event of inclement weather during which both Howard and Prince George’s County schools are closed (not delayed), any activity (meetings/events) of the BWCC scheduled to occur prior to 12:00 noon is canceled, and if appropriate, will be rescheduled.

For events on weekdays after 12:00 noon and on weekends, BWCC activities to occur after 12:00 noon on weekdays and at any time on weekends will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.


 
The New (and Improved!) 2010 Membership Directory Has Arrived!
It is the same great spiral-bound, pocket size design with the addition of a pocket on the back inside cover for carrying business cards. There are three ways to get your copy:

1) Stop by the BWCC office between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm to pick one up.

2) A  BWCC volunteer will deliver your directory right to your office.  Please welcome these volunteers into your office as their efforts help to get your directory to you sooner and they help the BWCC save money on postage.

3) Any directories not delivered by the first of March will be mailed out.

Special thanks to all of our BWCC members who advertised in the new directory.  Without your support, this valuable publication would not be possible.

To learn about advertising your business in the 2011 directory and early-bird discount rates, contact Nancy LaJoice at the chamber office.
