Executive Alliance recognizes companies, nonprofits for women’s representation

Listen to this article

The Maryland-based Executive Alliance nonprofit honored 64 companies, organizations and institutions – 50 of which are based in the state – through its Honor Roll for Women‘s Representation program. 

The honorees were acknowledged at an event Wednesday afternoon at the Laurel Park race track’s Maryland Jockey Club.

Executive Alliance’s Honor Roll Award is designed to recognize organizations that are strong in recruiting, developing, supporting and advancing women in the workplace and on corporate boards, the organization said in a statement. 

Women hold at least 30% of each Honor Roll awardee’s executive leadership and 30% of each organization’s board of director seats.  

At the event, representatives from Honor Roll recipients joined a panel discussion on women’s career and board journeys.

Of the five colleges recognized, Morgan State University was the only historically Black college and university in the state to earn Executive Alliance honor. 

“At Morgan, we understand that when women are empowered to lead critical operational areas, the institution benefits from broader perspectives, keen decision-making and more inclusive outcomes,” MSU President David K. Wilson said in a statement. 

“This is not simply about equity; it is about excellence, it is about positioning our University to thrive in an increasingly complex and competitive higher education landscape.”
