The Daily Record has named Dr. Jana Davis of the Chesapeake Bay Trust and Belinda Fraley Huesman, Executive Director/CEO, Chesapeake Arts Center one of Maryland’s 2018 Most Admired CEOs.
The Daily Record created the Most Admired CEOs awards program to recognize talented business CEOs and nonprofit executive directors throughout Maryland for their leadership and vision. The winners were selected based on professional accomplishments, community service and letters of reference submitted by co-workers, board members and community leaders showing the CEO’s leadership and vision.
One new member was named to the Circle of Leadership, which honors those recognized three times: Dave Hartman from Hartman Executive Advisors. A listing of all the winners is below.
“This year’s Most Admired CEOs have climbed the career ladder by pursuing a commitment to excellence every day. They surround themselves with great team members, leaders and employees who believe in the organization’s core values and mission,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record. “Most Admired CEOs empower and elevate those who work for them and with them in the workplace and in the community. Mentoring the next generation is important to these outstanding leaders, too. We at The Daily Record are pleased to recognize them.”
The 2018 Most Admired CEOs will be honored Nov. 5 at a dinner starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton Baltimore BWI Airport Hotel, 1739 West Nursery Road in Linthicum Heights. The event hashtag is #TDRawards.
Winners will be profiled in a special magazine that will be inserted into the Nov. 6 issue of The Daily Record and will be available online at www.TheDailyRecord.com.
The Table Sponsors of The Daily Record’s 2018 Most Admired CEOs are Epsilon Registration and VPC, Inc.
