BMORENEWS.com: Business and Political Networking Since 2002:
The keynote for the evening was Don Fry, President of the Greater Baltimore Committee. Fry alluded to how Congressman Elijah Cummings and the late Delegate Howard “Pete” Rawlings taught him that it will take the private sector’s engagement in order for the minority business community “to really create wealth”.

Donald C. Fry is president and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Committee (GBC), the central Maryland region's most prominent organization of business and civic leaders.

Since that time he has presented a new vision for the GBC that is taking shape in the form of bold initiatives designed to strengthen the area's business climate.
He has made advocacy for viable regional transportation a top GBC priority, launching a three-pronged initiative that includes lobbying at the state level, monitoring and evaluating new developments and proposals, and working on the federal level to insure that regional transportation plans are funded. The GBC has been instrumental in gaining funding to begin the planning and construction of the Red Line, an east-west rapid transit system from Woodlawn to Inner Harbor East, and expansion of the existing Metro Green Line north from Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.
