Unique to Washington, D.C. – state societies serve as social and civic organizations that celebrate the culture, history, traditions, and people of each respective state through outstanding events.  These events include, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, Presidential Inaugural events, and Congressional Receptions.  State society organizations are non-partisan and bring together people from all walks of life; such as Members of Congress, both federal and state; military staff; business leaders; actively social families; retired people – all through fellowship and goodwill.

 

Maryland is one of the oldest state societies, founded in 1919, became very active in 1924, and is a member of the National Conference of State Societies.  Our social calendar will be highlighted with annual events that include our Annual Meeting in June, a reception for the MD first lady, and the Maryland Cherry Blossom Princess Reception in April. 

 

Membership is open to anyone who wishes to devote him or herself to Maryland interests as set forth in the Mission Statement.
