Networking in Baltimore

Sponsor: Greater Baltimore Committee
Category: Finalist, Best Small Business Project

The Greater Baltimore Committee's Bridging the Gap program aimed to increase opportunities available to small businesses that are minority- and women-owned. To help these companies expand the chamber made introductions and opened doors at larger corporations. The project has led to an additional $30 million in revenue for the smaller firms. The chamber also hosted an annual awards ceremony to draw attention to successful local businesses.
