MCCC to Celebrate Heroes on March 15:
MCCC is chartered by the Montgomery County Government to honor acts of valor by our 5 public safety agencies. Over the past 40+ years, the
Public Safety Awards Luncheon
has become the largest valor awards ceremony in the DC Metro Area. Join us and hear emcees tell the stories of those who went “above and beyond the call of duty,” and be present at this opportunity to thank public safety officers for keeping us safe.

Going Green:
In partnership with the Montgomery County DEP,
Prince George’s County Department of Environment
expanded their resources with a
Green Business Certification Program
. This is a voluntary recognition program designed to encourage businesses and other organizations to take steps that reduce their ecological footprint. Earning Green Business Certification indicates that you are part of an innovative leadership movement to green your business operations and help transition to a sustainable future.
Small Business Runway Extension Act Becomes Law:
On December 18, the President signed the
Small Business Runway Extension Act of 2018
into law. This bipartisan legislation – spearheaded by the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce (MCCC)
GovConNet Council
– lengthens the time by which the U.S. Small Business Administration measures business size through revenue from the average of the past three years to the average of the past five years. This modification is designed to reduce the impact of rapid growth years, which may prematurely eject a small business out of their size standard.
