Team

Under the leadership of CEO Kathy Hollinger, our staff works to advance the entire Baltimore-to-Richmond corridor. We are committed to making it a vibrant, economically competitive and prosperous region.

How We Work

We drive regional growth through data-driven strategy and shared accountability. Our work focuses on core areas: skills and talent, transportation, infrastructure, economic development and innovation.

This cross-sector approach delivers pro-growth policies and supports data-informed decisions for public leaders. It also drives collective action from the region’s largest employers to advance economic competitiveness.

Our Approach

Aligning Priorities

We use internal expertise and real-time employer insight to identify barriers to growth and shape data-driven strategies.

Direct Engagement

We work directly with senior leaders across sectors to gather real-time insights that inform practical tools and action-oriented playbooks.

Convening Leaders

We bring together regional stakeholders across the private, public, and education sector to align priorities, share accountability and accelerate regional impact.
