11 County Businesses Complete Second Cohort of Inclusive Ventures Program

It listed each of the eleven graduates and their businesses, along with commentary delivered at the virtual event by Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, Maryland Department of Commerce Secretary Kelly M. Schulz, and City of Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley.

It also included a link to the outlet’s Business Spotlight Podcast interview with AAEDC Business Development Associate Keasha Haythe, who spearheaded the development of the program.

Eye On Annapolis also highlighted the the second cohort’s graduation in its November 15 Daily News Brief, stating that some of the business owners will be future Business Spotlight guests.
