2022 Session Recap
The Maryland Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs team provides a comprehensive analysis of the legislation relevant to the business community that passed or failed during the 2022 legislative session.
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Vehicles for Change
Founded in 1999, Vehicles for Change has awarded 6,900 cars to low-income families through their Car Award Program, changing the lives of more than 24,000 in the DMV region. Their efforts break down the barriers for many Maryland families to better jobs and greater income. According to a recent study, 75% of their recipients got better jobs and increased their average annual earnings by $7,000.
“Our Chamber membership has been a valuable asset for Vehicles for Change,” said President of Vehicles for Change Martin Schwartz. “We not only make valuable contacts but through our committee involvement, impact legislation that is key to the families we serve on a daily basis.”
