The Daily Record Announces Leading Women Awards
Baltimore -- The Daily Record has selected Erin O’Brien Millar, a litigator at Whiteford Taylor & Preston LLP as one of The Daily Record’s 2013 Leading Women honorees.
The Daily Record’s list of Leading Women honors 50 women who are 40 years of age or younger for the accomplishments they have made so far in their careers. A panel of six judges selected the honorees based on their professional experience, community involvement and commitment to inspiring change.
The Daily Record launched the Leading Women Awards in 2010, at the 15th annual Maryland’s Top 100 Women celebration, to recognize the next generation of Maryland’s women leaders.
Nominees for Leading Women were asked to complete an application that outlined their education and career history, examples of mentoring, career-related officer and board memberships in professional, business or trade organizations, volunteer involvement in civic and nonprofit organizations, awards and honors, professional accomplishments, and commitment to inspiring change in their organization or the community.
“The Daily Record’s 2013 Leading Women Award winners are inspiring change throughout Maryland,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record. “In addition, they are working to balance home, work, children, education and community commitments. These ‘Leading Women’ are our next generation of leaders, and I applaud them for all they do and all they will do in the years to come.”
The winners will be honored on Thursday, December 5, at a reception and dinner at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor, 300 Light Street in Baltimore. Winners will be profiled in a special magazine that will be inserted into the Friday, December 6, issue of The Daily Record.
Sponsors of The Daily Record’s 2013 Leading Women Awards include Chimes, presenting sponsor; Wells Fargo, leadership sponsor; and Epsilon Registration and VPC, Inc., visionary sponsors.
