Dear Reader,
It is our pleasure to present the Chamber’s 2017-2018 Membership Directory and Business Referral Guide.
The Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1926, is Montgomery County’s oldest and largest chamber of commerce. We are a membership-driven organization of approximately 600 members committed to serving the business community in the greater Bethesda area, which spans from the District of Columbia city line up to the Rockville city line and from Rock Creek to the Potomac.
The members of the Chamber are a diverse group representing the many facets of our economy. Our members share a passion for conducting business in our area and for getting involved in the community. Through our programs, volunteer groups and events, we provide the services and resources to help our members grow and gain visibility throughout our community. In addition, the Chamber supports its members by providing both a voice and a forum
to help shape public policy. Through our advocacy efforts, the Chamber provides the “boots on the ground” for your business at the local, state and federal levels.
As we look to the future of the Chamber and our community, we must celebrate our proud history. To that end, you will find in this Guide a brief synopsis of the issues and actions of the Chamber and our community for each decade since our founding.
We are excited to combine the traditional features our members have come to value with new enhancements that will make the Directory a powerful promotional tool, reaching thousands of business leaders, customers and decision-makers alike.
In the Directory, you will see two listings for each of our member businesses (both alphabetically and by industry). It also provides a variety of important information about our community and Montgomery County. From websites and frequently called numbers for government agencies, public officials and local community information, to the businesses that will help your company grow, it’s all in this Guide! In addition to the print copies of the Directory, visitors to our website at www.greaterbethesdachamber.org will find a fully interactive digital directory that presents readers with page-turning abilities and interactive content. Please click on our members’ ads and you will be taken directly to their websites!
If you are not already a member of the Chamber, we invite you to join us by completing the application in the back of this Guide. If you are already a member, please take full advantage of your membership investment and get involved. There are opportunities for all types of needs, interests and schedules. Contact the Chamber staff and they will help you customize your membership to your needs. If you don’t have time to attend meetings and events, know that we are here for you and your business and will continue to be your resource for information and assistance.
Please do not hesitate to stop into the Chamber office, send us an email at staff@greaterbethesdachamber.org or give us a call at 301-652-4900. We are only a step, click, or call away and ready to help you!
Sincerely,
Brian Wynne, Chair Ginanne M. Italiano, IOM, President & CEO
