LEADING MEMBERS

Here are a few of the members who understand that, together, we build stronger connections, stronger solutions and stronger policies for Maryland.

Maryland’s businesses need a strong voice in Annapolis to help the state compete regionally, nationally and globally. The Maryland Chamber is that voice, and they bring businesses and policymakers together to achieve that goal."
Denis Dunn,
State President–Maryland, Washington D.C., and Delaware,

The MD Chamber is the leading voice representing businesses across our state. Their expertise, guidance and leadership on legislative issues is priceless. In 2020, the Chamber established the Data Center Coalition to support legislation providing sales & use tax exemption for data centers. It passed, and now Maryland is a competitor in this market."
Jamie Williams,
Director, Economic & Tourism Development,
Kent County Economic Development
The Labor & Employment Committee has had a direct and significant impact on the workplace laws in Maryland. We have successfully proposed legislation to revise certain laws, suggested revisions to pending bills and fought problematic bills - all to protect the legitimate and practical interests of employers, while balancing the needs of employees."

Shawe Rosenthal LLP
The Maryland Chamber of Commerce is a powerful network of industry leaders with a proven track record of success advocating for business. No other organization provides the opportunity to guide and shape policy along with a multitude of valuable resources and engaging events for Maryland business leaders."
