We welcome you to join Friends of White Flint!
Friends of White Flint is the only independent organization working toward the successful redevelopment of the White Flint Sectors. We are neither controlled by a single interest group nor a governmental entity so we retain the ability to speak openly about what we believe will keep the plan on track to reaching its potential.
We strive to keep our membership and Board of Directors balanced between the three categories of “stakeholders” in the White Flint Sector Plan development process: residents/ community organizations, businesses, and property owners/ developers. Renewable on an annual basis, membership is an important way to move White Flint forward! Select your category at the bottom of this page to join.

Why join Friends of White Flint?
Help Ensure the White Flint District Reaches its Potential
Our community of stakeholders worked has worked tirelessly for the past seven years to ensure that the White Flint Sector Plan both reflects the needs and vision of all who will be impacted by this new district and that it is being executed properly. Our continued attention and advocacy helps keep the plan on track – and ensures that the promises made during the sector planning process are kept during implementation.
Maximize Your Voice and Join the Conversation
The power of Friends of White Flint comes from its wide scope and number of members, as well as the inherent power of information. Members from all stakeholder groups come to the table on equal footing, which provides for respectful discourse while finding consensus. We advocate effectively at all levels – with the county, state and private parties working on White Flint redevelopment.
Community Commitment
The opportunity to give back to the community around us offers real and fulfilling benefits. Whether from a personal or professional viewpoint, our involvements in the world around us broaden our perspectives and show the world we care. Include your events in our community calendar and be highlights on our blog and in our new directory.
Networking and Events
As our area grows, maintaining connections is key for personal and professional success. Friends of White Flint offers both a virtual platform for relationship-building and real life opportunities to join together as a community. Our events offer the chance to bring members from all perspectives and stakeholder groups into the same room for real discourse.
Economic Benefits
White Flint is poised to become the economic engine of our county, which is the economic engine of our state. As the district reaches its potential, there will be exciting benefits for all stakeholders in and around the area. A successful White Flint means thriving properties and businesses and vibrant and attractive neighborhoods.
Depth of Opportunity from Joining a Subcommittee
For more substantive involvement, members are welcome to join any of four subcommittees. Each subcommittee has a unique focus and offers varying roles of involvement and leadership.
- Membership: Ensuring we’re reaching every corner of our community so all have a voice in our work.
- Transit, Transportation and Infrastructure: Continuing the advocacy in these areas to ensure that the public pieces of White Flint keep paces with the private pieces.
- Events: The networking power of Friends of White Flint is best enjoyed when in-person events complement our virtual presence.
- Marketing and Branding: It’s time for this area to find a cohesive and consistent brand so that we no longer miss marketing opportunities. Just as Friends of White Flint has found consensus on many other issues, we must have an impact in this realm.

I love the white flint mall and Lord & Taylor it was a magical time in my life in 1986 and I worked at Lord & Taylor for about a 6 month time period the last half of the year including the Christmas season it was an amazing place to be I enjoyed it so much I was a young person living life and having fun in the city, During those 6 months I had so many positive things happen in my life and it all centered around Lord & Taylor and the white Flint mall
I’m 63 now And I still vividly remember working at Lord and Taylor and my time in Rockville Maryland and the White Flint mall.
