What Members Say About the BWCC …
"Joining the BWCC was the best investment I made for my business last year. Through the BWCC, I have met wonderful people who I count as friends, and as business connections. Involvement in the committees was definitely the key for me in getting the most out of my membership."
- Josie Thompson, Thompson Design
"My membership in the BWCC has been extremely beneficial in a number of ways. It has directly resulted in contracts with nationally-recognized major housing developers and property managment firms. This chamber has routinely advised me of opportunities and partners for potential collaborations. An important BWCC benefit is being able to identify my affiliation with the BWCC, which instantaneously places my firm as a player in one of the world's most influential markets. How can you not belong to the Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber!"
- Jim Andrews, CPM, PHM, Andrews Consulting Services
"My company had phenomenal success with a table display sponsorship at a BWCC networking event. Our strategically located display gained positive attention for all attendees. By the end of the event we had secured five new leads and a new client that will use our services on a regular basis. This is a very worthwhile marketing avenue!"
- Dian Smith, Office Team
