About the WBPA

The History of the WBPA

The Walkersville Business and Professional Association was founded in February of 2010. Walkersville’s town commissioners, led by Don Schildt, passed a resolution in the fall of 2009 to attempt to start a business and professional association.

The organization initially started with 20 members. The original scope of the organization was to establish a networking group that resembled Frederick’s Chamber of Commerce which has evolved over time.
