The Baltimore Chapter of Accelerent is delighted to announce that our chapter Partner, Gordian Energy
Systems / Cole Roofing has become our Chapter Title Sponsor. The companies will succeed Howard Bank
in the sponsorship role.
“Howard Bank has set the bar for what a great Title Sponsor should be”, said Bill Cole, President of
Gordian Energy Systems. We appreciate the example that Howard Bank set over many years, and will
work to continue in helping to lead our Accelerent chapter to provide its partners with exceptional value
and return on their investment in the organization.

leading our group of more than 60 Partner companies, as our lead and Title Partner” said Micah
Damareck, Accelerent’ s Regional President”.  Bill’s thoughtfulness and giving nature, and the way his
entire team has invested their time and energy in to Accelerent for many years already, was the perfect
selection of a quality group of ‘givers’ who we expect to lead by example!  Add to that the fact that we
get to celebrate 100 years of Cole’s business and we couldn’t be happier.”
