From the Director | Leadership, Dialogue |
|
April has been a busy month. As we return to
in-person events and meetings, the rhythm of life is picking up. Our strategic partner, the Regional Manufacturing Institute, hosted a great networking event at the Guilford Brewery in Baltimore on April 7. It was their first in-person manufacturing community event in over two years. The event highlighted manufacturers as artist. On Thursday April 28 I attended the first in-person Minority Business Enterprise Night in Annapolis in over two years. I saw friends and colleagues that I haven't seen or spoken to since the pandemic began.

While over the last two years we have adjusted to virtual meetings, conferences, and networking events, in my opinion there is nothing like engaging with people in real-time and in person.

Through the newsletter, we continue to highlight the key members the Center's operating team responsible for our success. With a little more insight into our backgrounds, you might see additional ways for us to assist. This month, our "Meet Our Team" mini-series introduces Uchenna Mildred Udeh, Administrator. |
