Dear Members and Visitors,

Welcome to the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce website! It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as Chair of the Board of Directors of this incredible organization. We are committed to fostering a thriving business community and creating a brighter future for Greater Baltimore!

We serve a vibrant and diverse region, home to innovative businesses, hardworking entrepreneurs, and a community that values growth and collaboration. At GBCC, we are dedicated to supporting local businesses, advocating for their needs, and building partnerships that strengthen the economic and social fabric of our footprint–Pikesville, Owings Mills, Reisterstown, and Northwest Baltimore County.

Our vision is to make Greater Baltimore a hub of opportunity—where businesses flourish, families thrive, and communities come together to achieve shared success. Whether you’re a long-standing member or a new business owner, your role in this mission is invaluable. Together, we can shape a stronger, more inclusive, and prosperous future for everyone in our community.

On this website, you’ll find resources designed to help your business succeed, including information about networking events, advocacy efforts, and tools to support your growth. I encourage you to take full advantage of these opportunities and engage with our vibrant GBCC community. I have benefited greatly from my chamber involvement, beginning as a business member. Girlkin Lashes, my flagship salon in Pikesville, became a member more than five years ago. My chamber engagement has brought me resources and opportunities I didn’t even know were possible at the time. I encourage you to get involved!

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your dedication, ideas, and energy are what make our collective progress possible. Let’s continue working together to build a Greater Baltimore we are all proud of!

With much gratitude and determination,

Kimberly Fernandez
