The event runs from noon to 3:30pm and will be happening at The Meeting House (5885 Robert Oliver Pl, Columbia, Maryland 21045).

Interesting items of note:

  • Current Howard County Board of Education member (Sabina Taj) is on the panel
  • It does cost $20 to attend this event (but you get a box lunch at the event). Noted on the EventBrite link: *Notice: Online Registration Has Closed. On-site Registration Will Be Available.”
  • There have been questions about Maryland Building Industry Association (MBIA) association to this event and what that means for this event
  • Elevate Maryland will be onsite and conducting a show before the event starts (Episode 68 with former Secretary of Education John B. King)

I hope we all receive some good information after this event is over. I for one am interested in hearing what is discussed.
