From Harford Community College:
Harford Community College was the venue for the [Minority Business Enterprise] MBE University Conference held by Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown on May 23 to support Maryland’s minority and women-owned businesses and to highlight the State’s progress with minority business enterprises. The conference was one of seven in a series of conferences that have traveled around the State offering training, opportunities and information on the tools necessary for minority and women-owned businesses to expand, create jobs, and thrive.
Nearly 200 people attended the Harford County conference that focused on emerging markets and positioning small and minority businesses with public/private sector opportunities. Dr. Dennis Golladay, Harford Community College President; Andrew Bertamini, President, Wachovia Bank; JoAnn Lingner, Vice President, Supply Chain, BGE; Karen Campbell, Vice President for External Affairs, Verizon; and Denise Caranaggio, Deputy Director, Harford County Office of Economic Development were among those in attendance.
Participants attended workshops that provided information on the new legislative changes to the MBE Program, procurement opportunities with State and local governments, small business healthcare tax credits, access to capital, MBE certification process, BRAC and emerging markets opportunities.
MBE University sponsors and partners included Harford Community College, Harford County Office of Economic Development, Wachovia Bank, Verizon, and BGE.
MBE University was created in collaboration with the State’s minority business coordinating agencies and the Governor’s Office. For more information on this initiative, contact the Governor’s Office of Minority Affairs, 410-767-8232 or visit www.mdminoritybusiness.com .
Did HCC hold a conference for ALL business owners? Has the Lt. Governor held any events which educate ALL Maryland citizens about the latest and greatest ways to build a small business? Until EVERYONE is treated with equality our society will remain broken. Hard worker’s are hard worker’s, no matter their race, color, or gender.
Dont forget, whites arent important anymore, at least not in the media. With all the illegals coming in, whites may be a minority. If the governor thinks he will be president after Obama and that the Lt Governor will be governor he has a big surprise in store for him. Obama isnt going to win the next election, and someone like Romney will be in for eight years. This wont make it so easy for the Lt. Governor to be governor.
Your observation is quite astute. My only qualm with your insight is that we have the choice of a candidate other than Romney. I would prefer someone that didn’t implement socialized medicine thinking it was a good idea.
Well it has to be someone young looking on tv. Romney will pull in all the right votes because he is better than Obama no matter what. He will pull in all the center people who are tired of Obama. He will pull in some people on the left because of his socialized ideas (which I dont agree with either). Best candidate for the GOP. Others are too old or extreme and Michelle Bachman is a woman. The people dont want a woman as president or vice president.
Yes DM, I believe your observations are on target. Mitt Romney would be a superior president to our current office holder.
