Dr. Bolt among Maryland’s 2022 Top 100 Women
Published on March 28, 2022
BALTIMORE — The Daily Record has named Cecil College President Dr. Mary Way Bolt to its 2022 listing of Maryland’s Top 100 Women.
Maryland’s Top 100 Women was founded in 1996 to recognize outstanding achievements by women demonstrated through professional accomplishments, community leadership, and mentoring. More than 1,700 women have been presented with the honor over the years.
Nominees were asked to complete an application outlining their educational and career history, professional and community involvement, corporate and nonprofit board memberships, and mentoring experience. They were encouraged to submit letters of recommendation from those who are familiar with their accomplishments professionally, in the community, and through mentoring.
Eleven women will be inducted into the Circle of Excellence, receiving the award for a third and final time.
A panel of business professionals, previous Maryland’s Top 100 Women honorees from throughout the state, and a representative of The Daily Record reviewed the final applications and selected this year’s honorees.
“This year’s Maryland’s Top 100 Women work hard, play hard and create better lives for their teams, their networks and their families. They are inclusive change agents who are not afraid to face adversity and stand up for what they believe,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, senior group publisher of The Daily Record. “Their community impact and commitment to mentoring are outstanding. We at The Daily Record are proud to honor them.”
Maryland’s Top 100 Women will be honored at a reception and awards celebration on May 9 at 4:30 p.m. at the University of Maryland Riggs Alumni Center, 7801 Alumni Drive in College Park. The event is open to winners, sponsors, and a limited number of guests. To secure a sponsorship, contact Suzanne Fischer-Huettner at shuettner@nullbridgetowermedia.com. The event hashtag is #TDRevents.
Winners will be profiled in a special magazine that will be inserted into the May 10 issue of The Daily Record and will be available online at TheDailyRecord.com.
