When it comes to managing finances, it’s common for business owners to learn on the job. The good news is that a few thoughtful banking decisions early on can make everything that follows clearer, more manageable, and easier to grow.

The financial planning consequences of selling your business too early

Burnout feels like a reason to sell, but it's often a solvable business problem rather than an exit trigger.

How in-house bookkeeping may be costing your business more than you think

Getting the fundamentals right isn't the ceiling of good accounting, it's the floor. And for many businesses, that floor is shakier than it should be.

Blind Industries & Services of Maryland

general news

Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM) invites the community to join us for ITR at 40: Celebrating a Legacy of Independence on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 4–7 PM at our Baltimore headquarters. For 40 years, BISM’s Independence Training & Rehabilitation (ITR) programs have helped individuals who are blind or low vision gain the skills needed to live independently, pursue employment opportunities, and thrive in their communities. Through training in braille, cane travel, assistive technology, home management, career readiness, and more, BISM has empowered thousands of Marylanders to build confidence and independence. This special anniversary event is both a celebration of that impact and an opportunity to support the future of these life-changing programs. Guests will enjoy a family-friendly Bull & Oyster Roast featuring BBQ and smoked favorites from Outlaw BBQ, oysters, beer and wine, music, games, tactile arts and crafts, braille demonstrations, face painting, and activities for all ages. More than just a fundraiser, the evening is designed to bring together supporters, community partners, families, and friends of BISM to celebrate 40 years of impact and independence. Proceeds from the event will support BISM’s ITR programs, including the renovation of our training kitchens, where students who are blind or low vision learn essential home management and independent living skills such as meal preparation, organization, and safe cooking techniques. Ticket options are available for families, individuals, and groups, and sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses and community partners looking to support BISM’s mission and be part of this milestone celebration. Whether you have supported BISM for years or are learning about our mission for the first time, we invite you to join us as we celebrate the past, present, and future of independence.

Health Care

LifeBridge Health

award winner

Serving as Chief Health Advocacy Officer at LifeBridge Health has been the most rewarding part of my career in medicine. This role involves creating organizational strategy for promoting the health and wellbeing of our team members, patients and community. As LifeBridge Health continues to expand and deepen its commitment to equitable care, we remain grounded in the mission of fairness and inclusion that has defined the organization from the beginning. Equity is not optional for a healthcare institution, it is fundamental. No patient should experience better or worse care because of who they are. Over the past year, we have continued to strengthen our health equity strategy by expanding education for team members, increasing support for departmental health equity initiatives and deepening our ability to measure disparities in care through meaningful data analysis. One of our most important milestones has been advancing the use of stratified demographic and social determinants of health data across both inpatient and ambulatory settings. While the volume and complexity of this information can be daunting, analyzing outcomes by demographic factors is essential to identifying and addressing disparities in care. By screening patients for health-related social needs and evaluating outcomes more intentionally, we are better positioned to provide targeted support and improve patient outcomes. The addition and growth of dedicated health equity program leadership has been pivotal in helping our teams develop actionable strategies that close gaps in care. At the same time, fostering belonging and well-being among our team members remains a top organizational priority. To be able to serve our community, our healthcare team needs to work in a supportive and thriving environment. Today, LifeBridge Health has eight employee resource groups (ERGs), six health advocacy councils and a dedicated health advocacy and fairness office working collaboratively across the system to advance healthy outcomes for all. Our ERGs are open to all team members regardless of demography and have been a great space for learning and support. Together we host educational sessions like our Building Capacity for Allyship simulation. Using simulation to teach anti-discrimination, teamwork and health advocacy has been very effective and a lot of fun. Working with actors has been a great way to bring our team members into difficult scenarios while teaching them how to navigate in a way that creates cohesiveness and safety for staff and patients. These simulation sessions are attended by administrative staff, nurses, medical residents, physicians and other members of the team. We also host celebrations, mentorship opportunities and more. In May (Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month) and our Pan Asian employee resource group goes all over LifeBridge Health sharing information about culture, quizzing us on geography, and sharing some great food thanks to partnership with our food services team. Team members and patients across the system enjoy these sessions. Another recent experience has been our Disabilities ERG’s ‘In the Eyes’ session where members of the ERG got to engage in activities through the eyes of a person with a disability. These and other ERG activities create space for us to learn about each other and to celebrate together. It is an important way to promote empathy, a sense of belonging, and teamwork. Health advocacy requires partnership across the system. Our health advocacy and fairness team members work with colleagues in quality, population health, clinical teams, executive leaders, human resources, government relations, marketing, community health, patient experience, patient and family advisory councils, care management and more. This kind of partnership is particularly important at the community level for initiatives like diabetes education in churches, pathway work with local middle and high school students, community engagement, event participation, sponsorship and more. We work together across the system to advocate for our team members, patients and community. This multi-disciplinary approach embeds this work into what all of us do every day. It is key to success. LifeBridge Health remains deeply committed to caring bravely and serving our community with equity, compassion and purpose. I am proud of the progress we have made and energized by the work still ahead as we continue building healthier, more inclusive environments for our patients, team members and community.
