Change the conversation about women leaders in Maryland.

Annually, Executive Alliance analyzes the representation of women at the highest levels at publicly-traded companies headquartered in Maryland through its Annual Census Report.  Our Honor Roll designation highlights publicly-traded companies headquartered in Maryland that employ women in at least 20% of their executive leadership roles AND have women in at least 20% of their board of director seats.

Held virtually July 15th from 11 am—12:30 pm, 20/20 Honor Roll will showcase the companies that are changing the conversation about professional women in Maryland and feature a round table discussion. Attendees will also receive our acclaimed annual Census Report.

Please join us to celebrate this year’s Honor Roll award recipients and learn from one another.
