On Thursday evening, July 29, at AFI Silver Theatre, at the 2021 Awards & Installation Event, GSSCC will honor the newest inductees into its “Circle of Stars,” a select group of for-profit businesses that continue to make Silver Spring a better place to live, work, and run a business.

These members have demonstrated remarkable resilience, sustainability, and/or transformation during the past year. The Circle of Stars also recognizes those companies that continue to do well through doing good, be it through service to the community, stewardship of local and global resources, and/or support of non-profit community organizations or causes.

Latest Info on the MoCo Redistricting Commission
Last Thursday, Sam Statland, Statland & Katz and longtime GSSCC member, joined the Chamber to share important information about the Montgomery County Redistricting Commission's mission and current efforts.

The Commission’s mission is to draw maps that are equal in population, are compact and contiguous, include minority representation, and preserves political subdivisions and communities of interest.

Specifically, the Commission is looking for feedback from the African American community as well as voters living in county border areas.
What communities should be located in a single district? What communities should be in separate districts? Are there boundaries between districts that you would recommend? If you have answers to any of these questions, contact Sam Statland.
