About Whitney Harmel
I’m fueled by connections - connecting people, ideas, and opportunities to make Maryland a place where businesses and communities thrive. As Executive Vice President of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and Executive Director of our Foundation, I get to turn that passion into action every single day.Over nearly 20 years in business development, sales, and partnerships, I’ve learned that impact happens when you combine strategy with relationships. That’s why I love building programs, partnerships, and experiences that not only grow revenue and influence, but make Maryland stronger. From launching statewide programs and initiatives like the Teacher Externship Program and the National Civics Bee, to securing bold partnerships that drive advocacy efforts, I’m all about creating momentum that lasts.I believe leadership is about showing up with authenticity and my style is hands-on, people-centered, and always rooted in doing right by others.When I’m not building bridges between business and policy, you’ll find me chasing adventure all over the world. I could be hiking an epic trail, thrill-seeking and wanderlusting, or simply bringing fresh energy to the next big challenge.My leadership style is rooted in relationship-building, operational excellence, and a deep commitment to advancing Maryland’s economy. I excel at identifying strategic opportunities, creating meaningful partnerships, and aligning teams to deliver measurable results. I’m passionate about the intersection of policy, business, and education—and always looking for ways to drive impact.Specialties: strategic partnerships | member and sponsor development | revenue growth | stakeholder engagement | process improvement | nonprofit leadership
