Supporting the priorities of Fort George G. Meade is the most important part of our organization’s mission.

In order to ensure that we work together to pursue priorities, issues and interests on behalf of Fort Meade, we have eleven standing committees to carry out tasks to move our initiatives forward. Projects are added to each committee’s work as priorities are established by the Alliance Executive Committee and Board of Directors.

Business Development Office (BDO) Committee: The Business Development Office Committee has been tasked with developing an entity which will assist companies wanting to do business with tenants of Fort George G. Meade.  This will also assist prime contracts seeking small and minority businesses for partnership.  This committee is responsible for establishing and operating the BDO.
