Washington 2024

“On october 20, 2016, the corporation amended its articles of incorporation by changing its name to "greater washington partnership and revised its purposes as stated in form 990 part iii mission statement. The by-laws were also amended to reflect the changed name, changed purpose, change in number and terms of directors, and authority to determine compensation of officers and employees.”

“The 990 is reviewed and approved by the audit committee, then submitted to the full board with the recommendation of the audit committee prior to filing.”

“Members of the board of directors, officers, and key employees are required to sign a conflict of interest policy. The board consistently monitors the conflict of interest policy by including this policy as an annual agenda item at its board meeting, and each member of the board is required to complete an annual conflict of interest disclosure statement.”

“Governing documents are made available to the public upon written request.”

“After internal discussions and meetings with government and community leaders, the board and other volunteers determined the best means of accomplishing the organization's core mission to better the region as a unified whole was to involve the region's most civic-minded business leaders to leverage their capabilities, resources, and influence in service of the public interest. With the help of these leaders, the corporation will be able to leverage the strengths, diversity, and power of commerce in the capital region of baltimore, richmond and washington dc to make it a dynamic and inventive business environment, a home of opportunity, and one of the best places to live, work, and build a business - a new model for a thriving super-region.”

“The corporation was originally formed as the exploratory committee for the 2024 summer olympics and paralympics for the region encompassing the district of columbia, maryland, and virginia. In september 2015 the corporation was informed that another bid city had been selected, so the board and other volunteers began working on developing another means to move forward with its core mission to better the greater washington region. They met with government officials, economic development & community improvement organizations, and business leaders in the region, as well as leaders of similarly focused organizations in other parts of the country.”
