Pivot, Plan, and Persevere

Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we have been working hard to support our members. We have advocated for them to our local government, promoted the good works that they have been doing in the community, and educated them with resources and webinars to help businesses adjust to our new normal. We are here to make the Greater Bethesda area a great place to live, work, and play – and we will continue to be here through whatever challenges we may face. Watch our video below to see how we, along with other local organizations, have been supporting our community through this pandemic.
