Legislative Briefings
Government is an important partner in making Pikesville, Owings Mills, Reisterstown, & Northwest Baltimore competitive places to do business. That’s why twice a year the Greater Baltimore Chamber invites our delegates to talk to our members on what is happening on the governmental level that can/will affect businesses. In return, as they go into the General Assembly, they can advocate on behalf of our residents and business owners. These member-only events provide unique access to our leaders and are considered by some, the greatest benefit to membership.
