Accelerent - Baltimore

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!

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)!

The topic of A.I. often comes up in Accelerent subgroups. One particular area of concern is how artificial intelligence will be regulated as it becomes more and more prevelant. Dustin Sitton, founder of Incite Automation, recently shared his expertise in this segment on FOX Baltimore regarding A.I. in the public school system. #accelerentpartner #ai #technology
