Maryland Chamber of Commerce

We're thrilled to share that the Maryland Chamber brought home platinum and silver honors at this year's AMA Baltimore’s ! 🏆

The awards recognize two initiatives close to our hearts: Fair Opportunity Maryland, an advocacy campaign focused on strengthening Maryland's business climate, and Heart of Business, our ongoing video series highlighting the people, businesses and stories behind Maryland's economy. 🚀 Both reflect something we believe deeply: Maryland's businesses have important stories to tell, and sharing those stories can help build understanding, spark conversations and inspire action.

Our marketing and communications team, Abbi Ludwig and Sawyer Cornelius, was proud to accept these awards on behalf of the many people who make this work possible. From our advocacy and fundraising teams to our talented partners at Fells Group and Cheryl and Jamie Costello. It's a true team effort, and we're grateful for everyone who helps bring these initiatives to life. Most importantly, thank you to the Maryland businesses and individuals who have shared their stories and trusted us to tell them. 👏
