The Daily Record created Maryland’s Top 100 Women award in 1996 to draw attention to the contributions being made by women throughout our state. The annual program is designed to recognize women who not only have achieved personal success but who also contribute to bettering the communities in which they work and live. Additionally, they play an active role in mentoring. Nominations for the award are solicited from economic development agencies, chambers of commerce, women’s organizations and the business community at large each year from May through January. This year, more than 500 nominations were received. 2013 Each nominee is asked to supply an application outlining her educational and career history, professional and community involvement, role as a mentor and corporate and nonprofit board membership. Past members of the Circle of Excellence — a group of women who have been named to the Top 100 three times — conducted a preliminary round of judging, paring the list to 150 finalists. After that, a panel of six judges selected the 2013 Top 100 Women; 63 are first-time winners of the award and 19 women are being inducted this year into the Circle of Excellence. It is the purpose of this magazine to better acquaint you with these 100 extraordinary people. The public had the chance to meet them all in person on Monday, May 6 at the Meyerhoff Sym- phony Hall in Baltimore, where the awards were distributed and the women were celebrated for their accomplishments and contributions. The Daily Record staff is honored to participate in this important and powerful event. The winners and their stories are an inspiration to us all.

Ballard Spahr congratulates Top 100 Women award winner Debbie Klis and Circle of Excellence inductee Teri Guarnaccia.

We salute all of the honorees, extraordinary women whose achievements are making a difference professionally and in our community.

WINNER OF THE DAILY RECORD’S CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE SCHOLARSHIP Inspired by a difficult childhood, Lunden Hawkins, a senior at Towson University, has devoted much of her college life to giving back. Focused on an eventual career doing international nonprofit work, the 21-year-old said that her own experiences and what she’s seen in her community have drawn her to a career in helping others. “I want to be that positive light in someone else’s life,” she said. She is majoring in family studies and human services, with a concentration in leadership in the nonprofit sector. Lunden maintains a 3.4 GPA while also volunteering for the U.S. Dream Academy — a national nonprofit mentoring program in Columbia that provides free services to children whose parents and relatives are incarcerated. She also founded Project Students Taking a New Direction, or Project STAND — an organization that recruits students at Towson to tutor in afterschool programs. Under Lunden’s leadership, the group has recruited 40 tutors. Lunden also is an active member in the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance at Towson University, according to her professor and academic adviser Sharon D. Jones-Eversley. “Lunden’s commitment to excellence and serve are apparent in the way she carries herself in the classroom, boardroom and community,” Jones-Eversley said. “No matter the task or challenge, she is [given], Lunden exhibits a well-balanced and result-driven approach to negotiation and advocacy. Without hesitation, Lunden’s resilience is amazing and inspiring.” After Lunden graduates in May, she plans to take a break before pursuing a higher degree. Having competed in several pageants since she was 16 years old, she already has lined up a trip to Florida in July with a Christian-centered entertainment company, which she said she MAXIMILIAN FRANZ hopes will help her get into the modeling business. Lunden Hawkins, Towson University Her experience includes the Miss Teen Baltimore pageant, where she was third runner-up; Miss Teen Maryland; and her Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity’s Dream Girl pageant, which she won in 2011. Lunden said modeling and participating in pageants help her give back and allow her to help others and create change through her message. Her message, she said, is for other young women to “validate “I want to be a themselves.” “It’s good to be successful,” she said. “But, in the end you should be happy with who you are. Don’t seek validation anywhere else.” positive light in She plans to attend graduate school and said she already is inves- tigating which colleges have programs that will accommodate her interests in international work, psychology and family therapy. someone else’s life.” She has plans for a career in international nonprofit work and said Lunden Hawkins her goal is to help women and girls, possibly developing a program Towson University that works with women empowerment and education. “In the long run, I do want to get my doctorate and be a child and family therapist,” she said.

What was your first job? Top 100 Women. When I was 10 years old, I was paid $1 per hour to weed flower beds and file invoices. By the time I was 14, I was not only filing invoices, but also performing clerical and accounting work. On my 16th birthday, I got a job at a Hardee’s in Bel Air and promptly quit my very low paying job. The owner of the business offered to give me a raise to $3.25 per hour if I stayed.
