Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:42:44 GMT

Are you a woman who leads — or wants to lead — with purpose, clarity, and connection?

You’re invited to be part of Women Leading with Intention, a powerful group of women committed to personal and professional growth, intentional leadership, and lifting one another up along the way.

In this group, you'll find:

Real conversations about leadership, balance, and authenticity
Connections with like-minded women who are walking the same path
Ongoing support and motivation to lead with purpose, not perfection
Opportunities to grow, reflect, and expand your impact

Whether you're a business owner, executive, creative, or community leader, this group is for you.

Remember: You don’t have to lead alone. We’re building a circle of women who rise with intention — and you’re an essential part of it.

Let’s keep showing up. For ourselves. For each other.

With purpose,
Your Central Maryland Chamber

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 15:18:42 GMT

Uncover the future of work at our State of Workforce event.

We hear every day from our member companies—of every size and industry, across nearly every county—that they’re facing unprecedented challenges trying to find enough workers to fill open jobs. Right now, the latest data shows that we have 8.1 million job openings in the U.S. but only 6.8 million unemployed workers.

We have a lot of jobs but not enough workers to fill them. If every unemployed person in the country found a job, we would still have millions of open jobs.

Join us for a dynamic conversation exploring the challenges and opportunities shaping today's workforce. Gain valuable insights from industry leaders, policymakers, and workforce experts as they share their perspectives on talent acquisition, development, and retention. Don't miss this chance to network with peers and discover strategies to thrive in an evolving business landscape.
