Dear Chamber Member,
 
As part of your GBCC membership, we are excited to introduce our new Affinity Program – 401K Plans.

Whether your company needs a startup plan, an upgraded plan or simply a plan review, our financial partners can help you with your needs.
We are proud to announce our partnership with Behnam & Associates to bring a “group” 401K plan to all GBCC members. What this means for you is…..

• Reduced Annual Admin Fees as low as ZERO dollars depending on plan asset size and design
• Waived installation fees for plan with assets over $100K
• Individual plan design and maintenance – each company will have its own private plan
• Reduced Asset fees with a portion coming back to GBCC – yes, Behnam & Associates is giving back part of their fee to our Chamber

Why consider this plan?

1. Pricing – you will almost certainly save dollars on fees and admin costs
2. Reduce your Fiduciary Responsibility – this plan will take about 95% of the fiduciary responsibility off your plate.
3. Reduce administrative tasks – all you have to do is upload your payroll
4. Give back to YOUR Chamber – when was the last time someone said “I’m going to reduce my fees and share a portion with the Chamber”?

​
But don’t take our word for it… get your free plan design or comparison today. Our Financial partners will be able to help you design the plan you want and quote you fees with absolutely NO Obligation on your part. All you have to do is chat with one of the advisors for 15 minutes; provide a bit of info and off they go.
Give us a call today…. You’ll be glad you did.

One of the coolest parts of my job is meeting people, making new friends, and building a stronger foundation for the Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce. One such meeting came about from a colleague running a Chamber in Northern Virginia – She introduced me to Chris Raines, General Manager of the AC Hotel Bethesda. Chris was named GM several months ago and was managing a hotel in Arlington and active with the Arlington Chamber.

As many of you have seen, the AC Hotel is under construction at 4646 Montgomery Avenue and will certainly be a tremendous benefit to our community. I had the privilege of meeting Chris and Rodrigo Arandia, Director of Sales for the Hotel and was happy to tour the construction site and new entity.

We made our way from the lobby area through to the café and lounge to the 4-season, outdoor patio where I foresee a Chamber reception in the making.
Our journey took us up the elevators to the guest room floors, where I was treated to boundless views of downtown Bethesda and the promise of thoughtfully designed rooms for diverse travelers.

Chris and Rodrigo have joined the GBCC and have already been active with a couple of Thought Leadership Councils, networking events and engaging with other members to share the story and new history of the AC Hotel Bethesda – Welcome Aboard!​
