What is the GBA?

The Govanstowne Business Association (GBA) is a non-profit corporation, the members of which include businesses, non-profit organizations, community members and Baltimore City representatives that promote, support and organize events, activities and other actions on behalf of the Govanstowne business community.

 Who is the GBA Board?

The GBA Board is comprised of business, community and nonprofit representatives from three diverse business districts, including York-Belvedere, York-Woodbourne, and York-Coldspring. Board members are elected on an annual basis through a nominating committee process. All Board members are volunteers that live, work and/or own businesses in this community.  The Board is compromised of voting (business owners) and non-voting (nonprofits and city agency representatives) board members.

When does the GBA meet?
