Howard Corporate Centre Joins ABCN Member Network

Published Friday, February 15th, 2013, by Sue Saldibar via www.officingtoday.com.
 

Alliance Business Centers Network is pleased to announce that Howard Corporate Centre has joined the ABCN member community.

Howard Corporate Centre was the brain child of LaTaunya Howard, owner of the financial consulting firm, Assure Budget Solutions. Ms. Howard’s work put her in front of dozens of small, growing businesses seeking to compete more effectively with larger, more established organizations. She recognized a need for a flexible office environment where businesses could present a professional image, yet pay only for what they needed.

The result is a five-story Class A building centrally situated in the Baltimore-Washington Corridor, “…the heart of America’s fourth largest marketplace…” according to the Baltimore-Washington Corridor Chamber.

Howard Corporate Centre is ideally located, adjacent to the beautiful fairways of the Patuxent Greens Golf Club – and central to the I-95, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the Intercounty Connector, BWI airport, MARC trains, restaurants and shopping. It is only about 10 miles from Greenbelt and Columbia, within 15 miles from Silver Spring, and approximately 20 miles from Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington, DC. Close government neighbors include the NASA- Goddard Space Flight Center, the National Security Agency, and Fort Meade.

The building boasts an elegant marble and brass lobby, an onsite deli and plenty of surface parking for easy access.

LaTaunya Howard is committed to helping growing companies build alliances within the community, and she is a big proponent of volunteerism. Her work was recently acknowledged with the 2012 HandsOn Greater DC Cares Volunteer of the Year award. She is proud of doing her part and encourages others to get involved in their communities and give back.

ABCN is happy to have LaTaunya Howard on board. “We welcome Howard Corporate Centre to the ABCN growing family of independent business center operators,” stated ABCN chairman, Frank Cottle. “We look forward to working with Ms. Howard and her team to help promote and grow her organization.”
