We’re proud to announce our maiden Schmoozarama in Montgomery County! We’re bringing together local business and political leaders to talk about land use, development, and construction in a time of recession. (Isn’t that over yet? Apparently not.) All in the relaxing pastoral setting—okay, we’ll try not to get carried away—of Lakewood Country Club. Come have a great breakfast and great networking, and get smart so you can immediately triple your company’s revenue.
