A Message from the President
The four cardinal directions of the “POM” compass point to four areas of focus: Business, Community, Advocacy & Resources – that is what The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce is all about. We connect businesses to consumers and to each other through networking events, ribbon cutting ceremonies, social media promotions, and community gatherings. We also add value to our community with events like the Pikesville 5K, the Taste of Pikesville, and amenities like the Pikesville Farmers Market. We coordinate access to our elected officials to keep our membership and community informed.
Our members can participate in monthly Brown Bag Lunches, After Hour get-togethers, and Mega-Networking events. They have access to business professionals who share industry best practices.
Pikesville features local history and loyal businesses vital to the area. Owings Mills has recently benefited from significant growth. The Greater Baltimore Chamber is committed to engaging businesses and nonprofits, professionals, volunteers, and residents to help create a region that is the very best place to live, work, and shop.
The Greater Baltimore Chamber is growing, and this is an incredibly exciting time to be involved in the Pikesville, Owings Mills, Reisterstown & Northwest Baltimore communities. Join today! Your chamber membership is an affordable investment that offers various levels of sponsorship for small businesses or large, new or established, traditional or entrepreneurial, brick and mortar or e-commerce. We also offer membership to nonprofits, neighborhood associations, and area residents. Choose your level today!
Support our members, shop local, attend our events, and continue to contribute to making this a vibrant community.
We can’t do it without you. Hope to see you around town!
Warm regards,
Beth Rheingold
President

"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."

"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!"
