Inside Back Cover www.gbc.org 1 • • • The GBC: A framework for private-sector leadership, collaboration In these challenging economic times punctuated by government partisanship and gridlock, where can innova- tive thinking, leadership and collaboration for the future be found? The answer: where they have always been found—in the private sector. It’s that way today, and it was that way in 1955 when a group of 83 entrepreneurs and business executives met on January 5 and formed the Greater Baltimore Committee to “take prompt and aggressive action” to address pressing problems facing Baltimore City. The members of the new organization, which included Clarence W. Miles, an owner of the newly-purchased Baltimore Orioles, and a young mortgage banker named Jim Rouse, were “not interested in glamour, platitudes or false promises,” they said. Instead they sought to create an organization that would apply private-sector vision and resources to getting things done. • Miles, whose law firm—Miles and Stockbridge—remains a leading GBC member today, was named the first • chairman of the GBC. He and his colleagues envisioned a private-sector action committee to address the critical • business climate issues of the day—Baltimore’s deteriorating downtown and its need for revitalization, critical transportation infrastructure and new business development. From that beginning sprung major downtown development, a spectacular revival of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and subsequent economic growth beyond to the city’s north and south shores. GBC-led accomplishments along the way also include downtown baseball and football stadiums, a convention center and restoration of the Hippodrome Theatre, just to name a few. Meanwhile, GBC policy advocacy has been influential in shaping government initiatives on issues ranging from regional transportation to competitiveness for economic growth and job creation. During the last six decades, the GBC has broadened its perspective to a regional focus, and strong private- sector vision and advocacy for progress is needed more than ever. The GBC remains uniquely positioned for this role, leading the way today to strengthen transportation infra- structure, the Inner Harbor, workforce development and to support the growth of industry sectors vital to our economic future. Such sectors include cybersecurity, bioscience, information technology and health care, as well as industries related to the thriving Port of Baltimore. The GBC also serves as a respected and credible voice of free enterprise in Annapolis, tackling policy issues related to our state’s competitiveness such as tax structure, government spending priorities and regulatory policies. Along the way, the GBC serves as the premier venue in the region for building business relationships as we work together to strengthen our business climate. The GBC provides the framework for a unified, connected, visionary and engaged business community. This directory lists the business and civic leaders who are part of the framework and who drive the work of the GBC. Sixty years after a group of visionaries met in Baltimore to form a new vehicle for meaningful private- sector advocacy, the GBC remains the region’s “go to” organization for getting things done. We gratefully acknowl- edge the GBC’s strong board leadership, the personal involvement of our members, a resourceful staff nd our many civic and government partners. We look forward to continuing our work together to apply private-sector vision and advocacy to the vital mission of strengthening competitiveness for economic growth and job creation in the Baltimore region and in Maryland.
