Learn about the 2025 Top 100 Women winners

The Daily Record is proud to highlight the accomplishments of the 2025 Top 100 Women honorees through individual profiles.

Maryland’s Top 100 Women was founded in 1996 to recognize outstanding achievements and accomplishments by women across many professions in corporate and nonprofit sectors across the state. The 2025 celebration marks the 30th anniversary of the awards program, which has honored nearly 2,000 women to date.

Honorees were selected by past Top 100 Women and business leaders. Nominees were chosen based on professional and community involvement, corporate and nonprofit board memberships and mentoring experience among other categories reviewed. They were encouraged to submit letters of recommendation from those who are familiar with their accomplishments professionally, in the community and through mentoring.
