Accelerent - Baltimore

Janine Stange delivered a meaningful and engaging presentation at the Accelerent - Baltimore Breakfast yesterday morning. Sharing powerful lessons from her upbringing - especially those shaped by her mother - Janine connected them to the actions she takes today, including her inspiring story of honoring our nation’s brave by singing the national anthem in all 50 states. Her message blended humor, humility, and real-world insight, making it both relatable and impactful for the 250+ business leaders and owners in the room. Many Thanks to our Title Partner Rosen, Sapperstein & Friedlander, LLC, as well as our Co-Hosting Partners Anchor Mechanical LLC and Whiteford, Taylor & Preston LLP.

Yesterday’s Accelerent Breakfast featured speaker Eric McElvenny. After suffering the amputation of his right leg while serving as a Marine in Afghanistan, Eric embarked on a journey that has seen him complete 8 Ironman Triathlons (including the World Championships in 2013), and represent Team USA at the Paralympics in 2020 and 2024. Eric’s keynote shared his realization that the challenges and adversity he was up against and the techniques he used to reach the finish line could be used against the challenges we all entertain. Thank you to our Title Partner Rosen, Sapperstein & Friedlander, LLC, and the Breakfast’s Hosting Charter Partner, Red Oak Financial Group, as well as all of our participating Accelerent Partners and their valued guests. Congratulations to the new and renewing Partners we announced: East Coast Turf, Structural Restoration Services, Hartman Executive Advisors, and MWE!
