This year’s Maryland’s Top 100 Women honorees continue in that tradition, and their tremendous accomplishments distinguish them as outstanding,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record. “These women pay it forward, mentor and recognize the accomplishments of other women. The Daily Record is pleased to honor them during this 25th anniversary year.”
