The Maryland Chamber: In Reality Episode One from Storyfarm New Media on Vimeo.

New Maryland Chamber of Commerce member Storyfarm New Media is partnering with us to create a monthly reality video series chronicling the company’s first year of membership.

The goal of the video series is to call attention to the many ways the Maryland Chamber helps member companies grow, while working to enhance the state’s economy and business climate. Follow along as Storyfarm Managing Partner John Sherman attends Maryland Chamber events, connects with other members, gets involved in Chamber committees and activities, and learns more about the organization’s legislative advocacy efforts in Annapolis.

We’re pretty excited about this new collaboration, and we hope you find it entertaining and informative. This new format is being pioneered by Storyfarm, and we think it’s a great fit to showcase our efforts and get real-time feedback about our events and activities.

In the first episode, Sherman begins the series by going to the joint Marketing and Membership committee meeting at McCormick & Company headquarters in Sparks. Watch as John makes new contacts, learns about the Chamber’s legislative agenda for 2011, and shares what it’s like to be be a part of it from a newcomer’s perspective.

Thirty-three members of Gross, Mendelsohn and Associates’s staff toiled in the 99-degree heat on Wednesday, June 23 to plant trees, install raised garden beds, plant hundreds of perennials, collect trash and spread mulch around the Sandtown / Winchester Community Center.

The Maryland-based CPA firm partnered with the Parks & People Foundation on the community service project. Gross Mendelsohn is celebrating its 50th anniversary year in 2010 by taking on several large-scale projects like this one.

“It’s fitting that we celebrate our anniversary with community service,” says David Goldner, CPA, CVA, CFP, Gross Mendelsohn’s managing partner. “The Baltimore community has supported the firm since 1960. It’s only appropriate that we give back to the community, and we can do that by offering a generous amount of volunteerism to organizations that are making a difference in Baltimore.”

Here are a few photos from last week’s project. You can view more here.

Send us your stories: How is your company giving back to the communities it serves? Send us your stories and we will post them here. Contact Will Burns at (410) 269-0642, (301) 261-2858 or wburns@mdchamber.org.
