The Daily Record names its 2013 Top 100 Women

The Daily Record is proud to announce its 2013 Top 100 Women. Since 1996, we’ve recognized more than 1,000 high-achieving Maryland women who are making an impact through their leadership, community service and mentoring.

The winners include 19 new inductees into the Circle of Excellence, meaning they have won this award two previous times.

All winners are selected by an outside panel of business leaders based on professional accomplishment, community involvement and commitment to mentoring.

The Top 100 Women event will be held May 6 at the Meyerhoff in Baltimore.
