One of the most powerful aspects of WTCI membership is access to our network. You never know who you will meet through one of our fellowships, at one of our events, or through the bespoke and custom connections our team can provide.
The highlights are obvious: key elected officials, the C-suite of our region’s top companies, and the non-profit and university leaders who are putting Maryland on the global map. It’s often the less obvious connections that truly move the needle. The peer connection from another industry that helped you solve a similar problem in a different way. The supply chain expert with key experience in a new market who can provide the wisdom that only on-the-ground experience can provide. The aspiring student who visits your business and eventually becomes your next star employee.
Whether it’s someone from around the way or around the world, WTCI’s extensive local and global business network has the people to help your business thrive.

Our Network Goes Beyond Business Professionals – It’s Multigenerational
Our corporate partners from across Maryland are the backbone of our network. They are at the center of what we do and provide the knowledge and expertise that power all of our programs and events. But our network goes beyond this prestigious group. It’s a diverse multi-generational mix of people in all stages of life – from high school students to retirees who want to stay engaged with Maryland’s global community. What unites this diverse group is a desire to give back and continue learning and an understanding that learning is a two-way street – the more you give, the more you get.
Our team designs bespoke engagement opportunities that leverage the power of this network to create valuable experiences – from galas with the region’s top business leaders to small panels addressing relevant business topics to months-long fellowship programs. We know that everyone engages differently, and we have spent more than 30 years refining our approach to create a wealth of engagement opportunities for our people.
