FeaturesGreen Business Certification Program

Green Business LogoIn honor of Earth Day, April 22, MCCC is celebrating the progress and success of the Montgomery County Green Business Certification Program. Sixty Montgomery County businesses have become green certified under this program since its establishment in 2009.

Councilmember Nancy Floreen
(At Large)
  • Environmental stewardship
  • Conserving energy & water
  • Reducing their carbon footprint
  • Generating less waste
  • Recycling

The Montgomery County Green Business Certification Program was created under the leadership of Councilmember Nancy Floreen and is a partnership between the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection, Montgomery College, and the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. 

MCBRE Business Champion for Children Award

The 2014 Business Champion Award, sponsored by MCCC, will be presented to Washington Gas for its participation in the Maryland Science Bowl at the annual MCBRE Champions for Children Event being held on April 29 .
  
Washington Gas was nominated by The Montgomery College Foundation. The Maryland Science Bowl is hosted at Montgomery College's Rockville Campus.

Washington Post Editorial on Montgomery County Executive Primary Race

Gigi Godwin, President & CEO, Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce
"With work ongoing in Annapolis and Montgomery County, we at the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce are also thinking ahead. The Washington Post editorial on the Montgomery County Executive Primary Race (3/18/14) posits "it's critical that the three candidates present voters with a compelling vision for the future." We couldn't agree more. There are just under 90 days to go until Primary Day. In the coming weeks, the community expects to hear from both Gubernatorial and County Executive candidates on how each will advance a vision of the future that will attract the next generation of talent and job opportunities to our state and region. We look forward to having candidates come to the Chamber to meet with members to engage in those discussions."

-Gigi Godwin
