The Catholic Business Network of Prince George's County (CBN-PG) is an organization of men and women dedicated to supporting Catholic education in Prince George's County and applying the principles of our faith in the marketplace.

We promote valuable networking opportunities among CBN-PG members, as well as additional support within the County for the education of our young men and women.

We at CBN-PG remain committed to our work in the area of outreach. We want to make sure that businesses in the county know who we are, extend a warm hand of hospitality and invitation to them to join us, and make sure that as a networking organization we can continue to support the very businesses who are supporting Catholic education.

At the same time, we want to continue to nurture our relationships with our county schools and parishes. Together we do make a difference.

2005 CBN-PG Golf Classic:
Over 75 golfers enjoy a great day and
a new course while helping CBN-PG
The air was nippy and there was frost on the pumpkins and elsewhere as well, but the CBN-PG Annual Golf Classic was once again a resounding success.

On Thursday, October 27, over 75 golfers enjoyed our first foray to Renditions Golf Club, ate exceptional food and helped us raise needed funds to provide grants to schools and scholarships to students.

Once again Paul Dougherty and Debra Myers organized and ran an exceptional event with John McGuirk lending a big hand in lining up hole sponsors and donations. After two years of resting comfortably at St. Columba School, our trophy will make a trip 'cross county this year to reside at De Matha High School.

Congratulations to all who played, all who worked behind the scenes and thanks for making this the most financially successful tournament to date. And a special thanks to Ron Rickert of Met Life who won our 50-50 raffle and donated it back to CBN.

First place (pictured above) - playing for DeMatha: Neal Murphy; Mike Jones; Tony DeCelis.
Second place (pictured at left) - playing for St. Columba: Harold Nelson (also pictured swinging at the top of this article); Joe Leightner; Sean Warfield; Chuck Restivo.

Hilary Bruggen

Speaker: Hilary Bruggen Fordwich

Playing golf continues to be one of the most powerful business development tools for gaining and retaining clients or advancing a career.

Business professionals generally fall under one of four categories regarding golf:

Those who golf well and leverage golf for business gain—interested in learning more.
Those who golf but haven't leveraged the game for business gain—interested in learning how to begin.
Those who are new or novice golfers and want to leverage golf for business gain—interested in learning about the possibilities.
Those who can't stand golf, don't play and don't intend to—interested in learning enough about the game to be able to converse with current or potential clients and colleagues.
