PRESENTING SPONSORS OF THE 2024 – 25 POPS SERIES
As the largest locally headquartered community bank in the Greater Baltimore and Washington , D .

The BSO spoke with Ellen Fish , Senior Market Leader for Baltimore and Western Maryland and a BSO Board Member , about the benefits .
In addition to being a sponsor , you are a BSO Board member . What drives your personal participation and Sandy Spring Bank ’ s support ?
Ellen : Although I do not have a musical background , what really drives me is the belief that everyone should have equal access to beautiful music . The Bank also shares this philosophy and supporting the BSO as a Presenting Sponsor allows us to support our community while also expanding awareness about Sandy Spring Bank . The BSO presents a unique experience
• Pre-concert discussions with concert attendees led by our team members
• Providing VIP hospitality , including premium seats and special touches , for our commercial clients
• Remaining front of mind with the audience , including little touches like branding cocktail napkins at receptions
More than just smart business , being a part of the BSO ’ s corporate program is also a way to support this critically important civic institution that has served our region for more than 100 years .
