2022-23 Relocation & Business Guide
Another Benefit of Being a Member
The Central Maryland Chamber alongside The Business Monthly has begun the process of updating and printing our new Business Directory and Relocation Guide. As part of your membership, every Central Maryland Chamber member receives a listing in the Business Guide. You will receive a copy of the “Relocation and Business Resource Guide” for no charge in November.

We need your help to be certain that all of your profile information is correct before it is printed in the directory.

Please head to your current member profile and select 'Update Profile' to verify and update any information by August 26th. (If you have any trouble accessing your account, please email info@centralmarylandchamber.org .)

A representative of The Business Monthly will be in touch with you soon about the “Relocation and Business Resource Guide” and how you can participate.

The Central Maryland Chamber “Relocation and Business Resource Guide” is an opportunity for us to stand united as a business community and to network with one another and to reach new opportunities!
CQI Energy Co-op
Savings Opportunity for Members 
Have you looked at your utility bill lately? Are you concerned about how much you are spending? What's going on?

The war, inflation and hot temperatures are just some of the factors causing rates to hit a 50-year high! As Bloomberg News reported, “The U.S. Energy Department Secretary Jennifer Granholm was spot on with where oil and gas are going — and it isn't staying at home. Nearly 75 percent of natural gas produced in the United States is being sold to Europe. Many countries in Europe have higher prices for gas than the U.S.” Natural gas is the major producer of electricity. 

CQI Associates will continue to watch the market and seek creative ways to provide protection, stability and savings for our customers. Clients with agreements, ending between now and May 2023, should contact Sean Corcoran, CQI representative at Sean@CQIAssociates.com to assure their paperwork is up to date. This will allow us the opportunity to jump on any opportunities that present themselves between now and then.

Maryland Chamber of Commerce Introduces New Podcast: Between Two Chambers
Tensions between Democrats and Republicans may seem high, but those of us on the ground in Annapolis know that compromise is the name of the game. More often than not, lawmakers on opposite sides of the aisle have close working relationships and are even good friends. That’s the stuff you don’t always see in the headlines.

In this podcast, Maryland Chamber Vice President of Government Affairs Andrew Griffin will have conversations with legislators and government pros on both sides of the aisle to discuss real solutions in the spirit of compromise.

Maryland businesses, workers and families are facing some big issues, and the Maryland Chamber wants to address them. Because the only way to get things done in Annapolis is to be, Between Two Chambers.
