Visit www.ccbcmd.edu/work. Message to Members These days construction cranes near and far can be spotted from the windows of the Greater Baltimore Committee’s offices in downtown Baltimore. A gleaming new luxury tower is rising near the Inner Harbor on a former spice factory site, a new mixed- use office tower is underway on the waterfront at Harbor Point, while a new 22-story apartment and condominium project is taking shape nearby in Harbor East. The cranes are just one of the many tangible signs that demonstrate private developers and investors are bullish on the city today—and its future. Indeed, Baltimore is the midst of a construction boom. That boom is tied to an exciting renaissance in arts, culture and a robust entrepreneurial spirit that is drawing Millennials to city life and national news outlets to sing Baltimore’s praises. The economic investment and confidence, though, doesn’t end at the city line. You can find it rippling throughout the Greater Baltimore region. Examples include: the Howard Hughes Corp.’s ambitious plans for a $1 billion redevelopment of downtown Columbia; a $200 million hotel project that The Cordish Companies and Live! Casino & Hotel are developing at Arundel Mills; the $350 million Towson Row project; expanding manufacturing operations in Carroll County; and a surging interest from defense contractors at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Harford County. This confidence is fueled by a belief that the Greater Baltimore region’s business climate is stable and strong, thanks in part to the fierce commitment and tireless efforts of the Greater Baltimore Committee to support legislation, policies and programs that promote and support a strong business climate and ensure that private enterprise works as a partner with state and local governments. It might be easy to think that with so much business confidence and economic activity in the region the GBC can rest easy these days. But challenges remain and growth always presents new threats and opportunities. This requires the GBC to be vigilant and work hard to bring private sector ideas and perspectives to the complex regional problems facing us today. Looking to the year ahead, these challenges will range from ensuring that the region has top-notch mass transportation networks and infrastructure, encouraging that workforce training programs align with industry needs to address skill gaps, and pushing for tax and other policies that allow local entrepreneurs, high-tech companies and other drivers of the future economy to grow and compete. A key challenge will focus on the violent crime occurring in Baltimore City, and its threat to public safety, economic vitality and the ability to attract top students, workers and executive talent. In 2017, the GBC was deeply involved, through its Task Force on Public Safety and in discussions with city and law enforcement leaders, with developing ideas and solutions to help the city fully address this top priority. The GBC is committed to continuing our work in 2018 on this complex issue and ensuring that all vested parties act with the urgency it demands. The GBC’s ability for 63 years to marshal and deliver innovative ideas and to influence these and other pressing challenges is what makes the organization one of the most unique, valuable and highly respected pro-business organizations in Maryland. It takes teamwork to make the GBC effective. This team includes the many dedicated members of the Board of Directors serving on task forces to bring solutions to the most pressing current challenges, members of the GBC’s committees working on long-term issues, and our membership, which support us with dues and attendance at our events. All are critical to the GBC’s past and future success. This teamwork is inspiring, and so are the ideas and solutions that the GBC’s Board of Directors and engaged members bring to the table every day. As has been the legacy of the GBC, we remain steadfast in taking on the tough challenges others may shy away from and “creating a better tomorrow . today.” I look forward to the year ahead which surely will see the GBC in a leadership role on the top issues of the day affecting businesses, serving as the voice of the business community, and ensuring that our state promotes economic growth and job creation. Thank you for your continued commitment and support. Donald C. Fry President and CEO www.gbc.org | 3 Board of Directors Officers Chair Paul A. Tiburzi, Esq.

Our volunteers are an integral part of the Howard County General Hospital family. We depend on see- ing them in the gift shop, at the information desk, in the consignment shop, on patient floors, in the Emergency Department, in the Pharmacy and in the Claudia Mayer Cancer Resource Center, as well as in many other areas of the hospital. Did you know that our volunteer program has more than 500 volunteers, who, during this past year, worked in excess of 45,000 hours? This translates into a cost saving for the hospital of over $1,000,000, each year. To all of our volunteers, some of who are pictured on the front cover, please accept my sincerest thanks and admiration. There is another category of volunteers that I also want to recognize and whose efforts are not recog- nized in the previous paragraph; I call them the unsung heroes-they are the members of our board of trustees and board and professional staff committees who donate endless hours of their time to our hospital. They are our volunteer nurses, whose work gained them a Volunteer Group of the Year award from the Daily Record.
