COLLEGE PARK MAIN STREET ASSOCIATION • MONTHLY COMMUNITY PROGRAM
Business Walk.
Stronger together.
Every month, College Park business owners and neighbors come together for a 30-minute brisk walk at an announced College Park walking destination, followed by a practical business-learning class, conversation, and refreshments.
MOVE • CONNECT • GROW
Good business starts with good connections.
The CPMSA Business Walk brings local business owners, entrepreneurs, members, and neighbors together around a shared commitment to well-being and community. It is an opportunity to move, meet people, and build relationships beyond the usual meeting room.
The program combines a roughly 30-minute brisk group walk with an educational session immediately afterward. The existing monthly schedule is the third Wednesday, with the walking route and College Park meeting destination announced for each session. Community members are welcome alongside business owners, entrepreneurs, CPMSA members, and partners.
Following the walk, participants gather for a practical business class or guest presentation on timely needs such as new technologies, AI tools for business owners, financing and funding, marketing, and other useful business strategies. Refreshments and sponsor-supported hospitality help make the gathering welcoming. Specific topics, speakers, venues and refreshments vary by month.
Whether you’re exploring CPMSA for the first time or already part of the Main Street community, the Business Walk is a place to meet people, exchange ideas and learn what your local association is doing.

LOCAL BUSINESSES SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES
Fuel a better business morning.
Local organizations can help support the Business Walk through refreshments, breakfast, practical business education, or other approved contributions. CPMSA welcomes businesses interested in a future monthly sponsorship. Any recognition and deliverables are discussed before confirmation.
Supporting breakfast helps make room for conversation and meaningful connections between members, neighbors and the business community. Interested in having your business participate? Contact CPMSA to discuss the opportunity and any available recognition.
CALL FOR GUEST SPEAKERS
Have business knowledge worth sharing?
Each month, the CPMSA Business Walk features a guest speaker with practical ideas for local entrepreneurs and business owners. Previous discussions have covered AI, next-level banking, and small business funding. We’re interested in new perspectives that help businesses adapt, grow, and connect.
We welcome experienced business owners, educators, advisors, and professionals who can teach a useful tactic, demonstrate a tool, or share an informed perspective.
