Accelerent - Baltimore

This month we hosted our Principals Meeting at Guilford Hall Brewery! This annual gathering of the principals and owners of our Partner companies offers an opportunity to build and strengthen strategic relationships, as well as to share best tips and practices for executives to take back to their business development teams. Many thanks Rich Craft, Jared Fischer, and the team at GHB for hosting us; Chris McDonell for setting the tone and kicking things off for us; and to our Partners who volunteered as Table Facilitators during our breakout session (Karyn Schell, Gary Ditto, Micah Damareck, Dina Wasmer, Chris Compton)!

How do Accelerent Partners utilize the platform to grow their businesses? One way is by participating in subgroups to build & strengthen relationships with strategic Partners: During our Construction & Relocation Subgroup meetings, participants share intel about ground-up construction and renovation projects, tenant fit-outs, and companies expanding and moving into and throughout the state. Strong client and vendor relationships are shared, and calls for help are made. #businessdevelopment #baltimore #accelerentpartner Cole Roofing Co., Inc.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for today's Breakfast, powered by CFG Bank and co-hosted by Heller Kowitz Insurance Advisors and Red Oak Financial Group! Our speaker, Colonel (Ret.) Mark Tillman, was the 12th presidential pilot and commander of Air Force One during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Col. Tillman detailed the swift coordination and execution of the successful evacuation of President Bush and his staff during the extremely volatile security environment. Additionally, he described the highly-secretive mission to transport the President to Iraq for Thanksgiving dinner in the most recognizable aircraft in the world. Special thanks to The Classic Catering People, Baltimore's Premier Event Solutions, and Mike Buscher Photography for contributing to the overall success of the event!

Steve Kopelman helped us switch things up for our Facilities Management Subgroup a few weeks ago, as teams of Accelerent Partners engaged in a friendly scavenger hunt competition! Once a month, these synergistic Partners convene to share intel and identify opportunities for each other; having a morning of fun was the perfect way to enhance and strengthen these strategic relationships! Thank you to Active Excursions & Piedmont Learning Center for coordinating, and to Allie Dudley/Living Classrooms Foundation for hosting (and congratulations to the member of the winning team: Cal Douglass, PE, LEED AP, Tom Vandevoordt, and Cate Paris)!
