MEET THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
When The Baltimore Sun created its Maryland Business and Civic Hall of Fame in 2016, it set out to honor those who have made profound contributions to our
area in a variety of ways. But choosing the most deserving among the many civic and business leaders in the region is no easy task. To help ensure a broad pool of
potential nominees each year, we ask for the assistance of our readers and an advisory committee consisting of community leaders.
This year’s leadership panel, as in previous years, was entirely made up of earlier Hall of Fame inductees.
The group offered suggestions for nominees earlier this year, which The Sun considered along with recommendations solicited from the public and others, to
make the final selection. We deeply appreciate the time and thoughtfulness of everyone who contributed to the development of 2024’s strong class of inductees.
