Pohanka Building Momentum Forum June 10, 2026, Protecting What You’ve Built

Cyber threats and technology issues aren’t just problems for large corporations anymore — they’re impacting small businesses across the Shore. In this month’s Community Spotlight, learn about an upcoming Building Momentum session featuring Allison Shellhamer of BDK, Inc., who will share practical, easy-to-understand strategies to help protect your business, your team, and your bottom line.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT • BUILDING MOMENTUM

Protecting What You’ve Built — No IT Degree Required

Building Momentum • Wednesday, June 10, 2026 • 8:00 – 9:15 AM • Pohanka Lewis Steele Conference Room, 112 West Gordy Road, Salisbury, MD

 

Cyber threats, downed systems, and ransomware aren’t just big-business problems anymore. They’re hitting contractors, tradespeople, and small businesses on the Shore and most don’t see it coming until it’s too late. The June session of Building Momentum brings in Allison Shellhamer, VP of Sales and Marketing at BDK, Inc., for a straight-talk conversation on technology, cybersecurity, and keeping your operations protected.

The session is called IT’s Not Complicated: Protecting Your Business, Your People, and Your Bottom Line and it delivers exactly what the title promises. You’ll leave with a clear picture of the real risks, practical steps you can take now, and the confidence to make smarter IT decisions without needing a tech background to do it.

Building Momentum is a monthly problem-solving forum not a networking breakfast. Seating is limited and open to Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce members in good standing. RSVP: skearsley@pohankaofsalisbury.com • 443-669-8640
