About

Influential Marylanders was created in 2006 to honor people who have made significant impacts in their field and continue to be leaders in Maryland.

These individuals are selected by The Daily Record’s editors for their significant contributions to their respective fields and for their leadership in Maryland in the following areas: civic leadership; communications; education; finance; freestyle; general business; health care; law; philanthropy; real estate; and technology. Three-time winners are inducted into the Circle of Influence. Elected officials are not eligible for this award because they are by nature influential.

Honorees who are named to the Influential Marylanders list three times are inducted into the Circle of Influence and are no longer eligible for the award.

Interested in becoming a sponsor for Influential Marylanders? Packages include an ad in our Influential Marylanders magazine and a variety of other opportunities for your company to be recognized. Please email [email protected] for more information.
