PACE Registration Deadlines Approach

December 23rd, 2019 by WCBC Radio

The Cumberland/Allegany County Industrial Foundation (CACIF) and the Garrett County Development Corporation are pleased to host PACE (Positive Attitudes Change Everything). Allegany’s Jeremy Irons and Garrett’s Shawn Bender are co-chairing PACE 2020. The focus of PACE is to highlight Allegany and Garrett Counties to political leaders, legislators, officials and other key decision makers in the beginning days of the Maryland General Assembly’s annual 90-day session. PACE offers a networking environment to focus on the strategic needs/projects in each of these two counties and to discuss the regional effect of key legislative topics for Mountain Maryland.

Now celebrating 44 years of advancing Allegany and Garrett Counties, the PACE Reception is Thursday evening, January 23, 2020, followed by the PACE Breakfast on Friday morning, January 24, 2020, at the Graduate Annapolis Hotel, 126 West Street.

The reception is a cocktail party format featuring hors d’oeuvres including PACE’s signature reception dish, oysters on the half-shell, and an open bar. The breakfast is buffet style and includes pancakes topped with all-natural maple syrup.

The success of Mountain Maryland PACE depends on the participation and support of individuals, businesses, organizations and other entities. The PACE Committee kindly asks you to consider PACE 2020.
