The Maryland Black Bears are a Tier II junior ice hockey team in the North American Hockey League's East Division. The Black Bears play their home games in the Piney Orchard Ice Arena in Odenton. The Black Bears are the first team in the 42-year history of the NAHL to be based out of Maryland.
Robyn Remick was recently hired as President of the Maryland Black Bears. She is also the first female President of an NAHL team in the league’s 24-year history. Robyn comes to the Black Bears after an award-winning career in marketing and sales for companies including ESPN, Disney, Telecommunications Inc., and MTV.
We are excited to have Robyn and the Black Bears as the newest members of the Central Maryland Chamber!

2019 Community Scope
Housing Policy Impact on Region
|
|
From the Federal Reserve Bank: “Baltimore Housing Policy explores the origins of policies and practices -- including restrictive zoning and covenants, followed by mortgage “redlining” and “blockbusting” --
that led to the decline of stable neighborhoods and communities in Baltimore and the nation
. The authors provide an overview of current initiatives -- almost exclusively community-based and grassroots driven -- to remake a hardened landscape and disperse and expand opportunities for quality affordable housing within the Baltimore metropolitan region.”

Small Business Seminar
Six Transitioning Mistakes that
Kill Your Business!
Wednesday, March 20th | 9:00AM - 10:30AM
|
|
We never plan to make mistakes. As business owners, we’re focused on running our business. Every day brings new challenges, opportunities and decisions. No matter how hard you work to help your business succeed, there are six mistakes that if ignored, can consistently cause your business to fail.
Consumed with the day-to-day operation of their business, important topics like business succession, buy/sell agreements, disability, business continuation, retirement planning and tax strategies, etc., are frequently neglected. Intellectually, owners understand these are very important issues, but seldom make them a priority.
Business owners who are focused on their company will typically spend little or no time avoiding the six most common mistakes that can often result in devastating consequences. Please Join Clarke Langrall, Jr., President & CEO of Forecast Strategic Advisers, to Learn the Six Mistakes that Can Kill Your Business and the Solutions You Need for Success.
-- For Business Owners Only --
Seating is very limited, so please register early.

If any one of the three county school systems has a 2 hour delay, all chamber activities prior to noon will be cancelled.
If any one of the three county school systems closes early due to weather, all chamber evening activities will be cancelled.
