For more than a decade, the Howard County Chamber and the Office of the County Executive have partnered to deliver one of the region’s most anticipated annual events. The 2026 Howard County Business Outlook Luncheon marks a historic moment as County Executive Dr. Calvin Ball delivers his final State of Business address.
Join business, civic, and community leaders for a forward-looking conversation on Howard County’s economic landscape. This signature event will reflect on the progress and accomplishments achieved under Dr. Ball’s leadership while offering insights into the county’s future priorities, challenges, and opportunities.
Attendees will gain:
• An overview of the state of business in Howard County
• Reflections on key milestones from Dr. Ball’s tenure
• A look ahead at what's shaping the county’s next chapter
• Meaningful networking with hundreds of local professionals
• A plated lunch in a premier setting
Whether you’re a longtime Chamber member or new to the Howard County business community, this is a can’t-miss opportunity to be part of a milestone moment and an important dialogue about what’s ahead.
