CAMP COMPASS 2026

NATURE MEETS YOUR NETWORK

We’re excited to invite you to Camp Compass 2026!

This is an off-site agent experience built around growth, connection, and community. Step away from the day-to-day agent life to connect with fellow agents and partners, walk away with real strategies to strengthen relationships and grow your business in a more intentional way.

This year, we are focusing on the impact of networking through our keynote speaker, agent panel, and engaging workshops - designed to empower you to build and expand upon your networking skills.

We will focus on:

  • Tools to grow your sphere of influence

  • Building stronger referral partnerships

  • Making lasting connections in your community

  • Social media tips and tricks for strategic visibility, growth, and connection

Keynote Speaker

Meet Aaron Maybin

[Baltimore is] a city of tough love, but we’re also a city of arts. We’re a city of renaissance that’s taking place right now. We’re a city of creators, we’re a city of innovators, you know, we’re a city of resilient people. There’s nowhere else that I’ve wanted to live. I’ve had the opportunity to travel all over the world, but there’s only one place that I feel at home, that’s in my city.
— Aaron Maybin

Aaron Maybin could have taken his NFL platform anywhere. He brought it back to Baltimore.

A West Baltimore native, Aaron has become one of the city's most trusted voices, connectors, and doers. As a celebrated artist, activist, author, and mentor, he leads with the same conviction that defined his athletic career — except now, the field is his community.

Through The Aaron Maybin Foundation and the Level Up Leadership Academy, he reaches hundreds of young people weekly with mentorship, art, and wellness programming — creating safe spaces to heal, grow, and reimagine what's possible. But his leadership doesn't stop at the program doors. Aaron is out in Baltimore daily — patrolling neighborhoods, de-escalating conflicts, supporting families through crisis, and meeting urgent needs head-on. He helped raise funds to provide winter gear for over 1,000 students. He spearheaded the reopening of the Hilton Rec Center. He shows up because he believes the work demands it.

It's why he was named the 2025 Baltimore Community Foundation Neighborhood Spotlight Award winner — a recognition that speaks to what Baltimore's most committed leaders already know about him.

And it's exactly that kind of relationship-driven, community-rooted leadership he'll bring to his keynote — sharing how to network with purpose, build real trust, and get your biggest ideas off the ground.
