The Greater Baltimore Committee is a regional, membership organization of more than 500 businesses, nonprofit organizations, and educational and civic institutions. Members are located in Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Howard counties.
The GBC’s mission is to improve the business climate of the Baltimore region by organizing its corporate and civic leadership to develop solutions to the problems that affect the region's competitiveness and viability. Founded in 1955 by a small group of business leaders that included renowned developer James Rouse, the GBC has played a decisive role in Baltimore's acclaimed downtown 'renaissance.'
The GBC’s work today includes identifying and nurturing major business development opportunities in the region; and strengthening the region’s business, transportation, education, health care, and technology resources.
Through its member-driven committees and industry groups, the GBC identifies major issues that are crucial to the region's business growth. The GBC then plays an influential role in developing public strategies for action on key issues.
The GBC provides members with a broad range of information and reports through its electronic and print publications, including its website, www.gbc.org. The GBC also offers a comprehensive, year-long schedule of programs and networking events for executives and business professionals on topics ranging from corporate teamwork to updates on key business climate and public policy issues.
The GBC also houses The Leadership, an acclaimed in-depth year-long orientation for emerging leaders from the region’s business, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
