LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT :

Dear Potential CCMBA Member, on behalf of the CCMBA Board of Directors and Officers, we would like to invite you to join the Calvert County Minority Business Alliance. July 1, 2007 marks the beginning of our first full fiscal year – the organization officially started in January 2007, although we have been planning since June 2006.

CCMBA has accomplished many objectives since its inception in January 2007 in the areas of policy and legislative development, member development and training, and business development and networking. Our upcoming program years will continue this trend.
