2026 Mountain Maryland PACE

JOIN US FOR THE 49th ANNUAL P.A.C.E. RECEPTION! PACE is an important part of making Maryland's political leadership aware of the needs and the specific requests of Allegany and Garrett Counties. This effort is vital when it comes time for the Senate or House Committee to decide which program to fund or which project to include in the budget. The Reception and Breakfast provide our Delegation with a strong show of local support for issues they are pressing in Annapolis, and the results have proven to be impressive.
