Learn. Grow. Transition.

What is your business truly worth — and are you preparing it for the day you decide to step away?

Whether retirement is five years away or fifteen, the decisions you make today directly impact the future value, marketability, and sustainability of your company.

Join us for a strategic Lunch & Learn designed for business owners and executives who want to better understand how to increase enterprise value, reduce risk, and prepare for a successful transition or eventual exit.

Featuring:

Matt Albers, AWMA, CEPA, MRFC, CEMC
CEO, DRS Business Advisors

and

Thomas “Tommy” Battle, MBA, CEPA, CFP®
Founder, Battle Business & Leadership Coaching

During this session, participants will explore how to intentionally build a business that can thrive — and command stronger valuation — beyond its founder or current leadership.

You’ll learn how to:

✔ Identify and activate the key drivers that increase business valuation
✔ Reduce owner dependency and operational risk that can lower sale value
✔ Strengthen leadership structure and operational systems buyers look for
✔ Create a strategic roadmap for succession, transition, or future sale

“Sustainable success isn’t left to chance — it’s built on a vivid vision, a compelling purpose, and a structure that empowers people to perform at their best.”

Whether your goal is growth, succession planning, or preparing for a future sale, this workshop will provide practical insights to help you build a stronger, more valuable business.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for:

• Business owners considering long-term succession or eventual sale
• Family-owned businesses planning leadership transition
• Executives and leadership teams focused on sustainable growth
• Owners looking to reduce risk and strengthen company operations
• Professionals advising business owners, including CPAs, attorneys, and financial advisors

A light boxed lunch will be provided, along with opportunities to connect with fellow business leaders.

We’ll be discussing exciting personal and professional development topics like:

• Effective Networking Strategies
• Personal organization
• Work-life-balance and self-care
• Financial Management and Planning
• Fun social activities like kickball and bowling leagues, and field trips
• Volunteer opportunities, and creating a sense of community

Whether you want to be prepared for changes or provide valuable input, this is the place to stay informed.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the upcoming Talbot County Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee meeting! Your engagement with this committee offers an invaluable opportunity to directly shape local policies and improve communication between our Chamber, its members, and our elected officials. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider joining or attending:

1. Advocate for Your Business:

One of the core purposes of the Chamber is to advocate on behalf of local businesses, and the Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee plays a key role in this effort. This committee offers a direct platform for business leaders like you to share the challenges you’re facing, whether it’s related to legislation, regulations, taxes, or other issues. By participating, you’ll ensure that the Chamber has a clear understanding of the issues impacting your business, and together, we can work to develop solutions and advocate for changes that benefit the broader business community. Your feedback is crucial in helping us tailor our advocacy efforts to better serve your needs.

2. Increase Communication with Elected Officials:

Participating in this committee fosters a stronger, ongoing dialogue between the Chamber, its members, and our elected officials*. This is your chance to help build a bridge of communication that allows for a deeper understanding of business needs and priorities, ensuring that your concerns are represented at all levels of government.

3. Stay Informed on Key Legislation:

The Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee keeps members up to date on the latest legislative initiatives, local government decisions, and business-related laws that could impact your company. The committee will closely monitor action alerts and updates from the Maryland Chamber of Commerce's Legislative Committee and share their weekly legislative tracker, which is also available on our homepage under the Legislative Updates tab. Whether you want to be prepared for changes or provide valuable input, this is the place to stay informed.

4. Build Strong Relationships:

This committee is a great way to connect with local government leaders, policymakers, and fellow business owners. Networking with decision-makers and community influencers can open doors to valuable partnerships and opportunities.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the upcoming Talbot County Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee meeting! Your engagement with this committee offers an invaluable opportunity to directly shape local policies and improve communication between our Chamber, its members, and our elected officials. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider joining or attending:

1. Advocate for Your Business:

One of the core purposes of the Chamber is to advocate on behalf of local businesses, and the Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee plays a key role in this effort. This committee offers a direct platform for business leaders like you to share the challenges you’re facing, whether it’s related to legislation, regulations, taxes, or other issues. By participating, you’ll ensure that the Chamber has a clear understanding of the issues impacting your business, and together, we can work to develop solutions and advocate for changes that benefit the broader business community.

Participating in this committee fosters a stronger, ongoing dialogue between the Chamber, its members, and our elected officials*. This is your chance to help build a bridge of communication that allows for a deeper understanding of business needs and priorities, ensuring that your concerns are represented at all levels of government.

3. Stay Informed on Key Legislation:

The Government Affairs & Member Advocacy Committee keeps members up to date on the latest legislative initiatives, local government decisions, and business-related laws that could impact your company.

Whether you want to be prepared for changes or provide valuable input, this is the place to stay informed.
