The annual program is designed to recognize women who not only have achieved personal success but also contribute to bettering the communities in which they work and live. Addition- ally, they play an active role in mentoring the younger generation of businesspeople. Nominations for the award are solicited from previous winners, as well as economic develop- ment agencies, chambers of commerce, women’s organizations and the business community at large each year from May through January. For this year’s awards, 370 nominations were re- ceived. Each nominee is asked to supply an application outlining her educational and career history, professional and community involvement, and corporate and nonprofit board membership. Nominees also are asked to provide a letter of reference. After a preliminary round of judging, a panel of seven judges – including previous Top 100 Women honorees and Maryland business leaders – selected the 2014 Top 100 Women. Sixty- three women are first-time winners of the award. Fifteen women are being inducted into the Circle of Excellence. Circle of Excellence honorees will receive the award for a third and final time. It is the purpose of this magazine to better acquaint you with these 100 exceptional people. The public had the chance to meet them all in person on Monday, May 5 at the Joseph Meyer- hoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore, where the awards were distributed and the women were cel- Suzanne E.

  • Iam Pleased to Serve As President of Women Legislators of Maryland
    Untitled-1 1 12/21/2018 1:23:26 PM Untitled-1 2 12/21/2018 1:23:28 PM A Message President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated I am pleased to serve as President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated. WLMF was established in 2006 through the efforts of The Honorable Eileen Rehrmann, a former delegate and the first woman to serve as County Executive of Harford County. WLMF’s first President was the late Delegate Pauline Menes, a founder of Women Legislators of Maryland (Women’s Caucus). WLMF was organized to assist the Women’s Caucus in achieving its funding potential in support of its agenda. The Women’s Caucus’ agenda addresses equal rights for women and children, primarily in connection with education, employment, economic development, and social opportunities. Throughout the history and advancement of our great nation, women have been an untapped and underutilized resource. However, today we celebrate! We are ecstatic to report that 2018 has truly been the year of the woman. I am delighted to share that record numbers of women ran successfully for office nationwide during the 2018 mid-term elections. The number of women in the Maryland General Assembly reached an all-time high of 72 members. In addition, WLMF is proud to report and salute the historical appointment of Victoria “Vicki” L. Gruber to the position of Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, on January 1, 2018. WLMF and the Women’s Caucus recognize and appreciate the leadership of Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr., President, Maryland Senate, and Michael E.
