Celebrate Entrepreneurship: Lee Ann Young, Uncharted HR
Lee Ann Young, Founder/CEO of Uncharted HR gives her one piece of advice for new or future entrepreneurs: consider your mission, vision, and values. If you have them in your handbook and a few other foundational aspects in place, your company will grow into that. It's so much easier to create this when you have five employees, rather than 20, 25, or more!
We're thrilled to have Uncharted HR as one of our sponsors for Celebrate Entrepreneurship! Do you have your tickets yet? https://bit.ly/41WNUee

Celebrating Entrepreneurship: Andrew Dean, the Founder and CEO of Open Professional Group
Andrew Dean, the Founder and CEO of Open Professional Group, a leading software development company, has shared his insights on the software development process. He compares the process to building a custom home, where the first step is to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. The next step is to create a blueprint that outlines the key features and functionalities of the software, which will guide the development process.
Dean emphasizes the importance of having a well-defined blueprint, as it helps to ensure that the development team understands the project requirements and can deliver a product that meets the client's needs. He also notes that the development team plays a critical role in the process, as they are responsible for bringing the blueprint to life.
Dean's approach to software development is focused on collaboration and communication. He believes that it is essential to work closely with clients throughout the development process to ensure that the software meets their needs and expectations. This approach has helped Open Professional Group to deliver high-quality software solutions to its clients, and it has earned the company a reputation for excellence in the industry.

Main Street Pitch | Uncharted HR
The Main Street Pitch - Connecting you with business resources
Is your organization in need of Human Resources expertise and you don’t know where to begin?
Meet Lee Ann Young, founder and owner of Uncharted HR.
Lee Ann Young, SHRM-SCP, started Uncharted HR on the principles that a company’s greatest asset is its people. With over 20 years HR experience she realized that the “people” component are the hardest things to manage. Every organization starts with a gathering of strangers, who then become coworkers and hopefully highly functioning teams. How does that happen, chance, luck, hard work? That’s where we come in, through the three-legged stool approach combining performance, processes and technology the best results can be found.
Believing in the concept of communication, collaboration and cooperation to attain desired outcomes, we are your business partner, guiding your organization through the myriad of activities that come after you hire your first employee.

Main Street Pitch | East Coast Digital Media
The Main Street Pitch - Connecting you with business resources.
Looking to improve your social media presence?
Meet Rylee Breeding, owner of East Coast Digital Media.
Rylee Breeding has over 3 years of experience in social media marketing. In Carroll County, she discovered her passion for content creation while working as a crab house manager. Besides working at the crab house, Rylee was also a full-time student trying to keep up with her studies. It was clear to her that she needed to make a change. Her full-time job as a crab house manager was a big factor in her decision to quit and to focus on her studies. Thus, she earned a certificate in Digital and Social Media Marketing from Carroll Community College and graduated from Carroll Community College this spring with her associates in both Business Administration and Psychology. She will be attending the University of Baltimore for her bachelor's degree in Digital Marketing next fall.
Besides creating videos and graphics, Rylee does much more today. In her role as a marketing strategist, she specializes in helping businesses of all sizes develop comprehensive marketing strategies that produce results. Today, she works with many different businesses throughout Carroll County, and she hopes to continue helping companies focus on what really matters - running their businesses.
Whenever she's not recording or editing content, she's studying to further her education in the digital marketing industry. Spending time with her grandparents, playing with her corgi, Todd, and painting are some of the things she enjoys doing in her spare time away from work and school.
