The 2024/25 Effective Impact Mentoring Program Cohort has been solidified. Our Effective Impact Mentoring Program is a transformational, year-long experience that provides individual guidance and professional skills to help mid-level women achieve their career goals. Since its launch in 1997, over 200 women have benefited from the program.

Maryland’s businesses will be required to take an important step forward in salary transparency as Governor Moore signed HB649 into law April 25. Under the new law, which takes effect October 1, 2024, businesses must include a pay range in job postings. Executive Alliance advocated for this change, citing growing research that points to a reduction in gender pay gaps and increased wages for women after states and/or employers have enacted pay transparency policies. This is a best practice that helps businesses attract and retain employees by creating more transparency in the hiring process. It also helps ensure that pay is set fairly, which is a significant problem for women and especially women of color, who have significant pay gaps as compared to men.

Executive Alliance is part of the Leaderboard (formerly known as ION), which is a consortium of women-focused groups across the nation dedicated to placing women in corporate board positions. Leaderboard has relaunched its website and mission, focusing on becoming a national aggregator for the over 2,000 board-practiced and board-ready women its member organizations represent.

Executive Alliance seeks to empower and diversify women leaders as they grow and develop through their careers. Since 1993, Executive Alliance has been a catalyst for women leaders in the greater Baltimore area. We achieve this mission partly by measuring the progress women have made through our Annual Census Report of Women Board Directors in Maryland, which was released March 20 at our Honor Roll event.

What does it take to speak, sound, and look like a leader? I created a professional development LinkedIn Live series to interview subject matter experts on this topic. The endeavor expanded to include twenty guests! The lessons learned and nuggets of wisdom were remarkable.

Executive Alliance, which promotes women leaders in Maryland, has named 43 Maryland companies and non-profit organizations to its Honor Roll Award for Women’s Representation. This award is designed to recognize and celebrate companies and organizations that are creative and supportive in recruitment, development, support and advancement of women in the workplace and corporate boards. Each Honor Roll award organization has AT LEAST 30% of their executive leadership AND 30% of their board of director seats held by women. The Honor Roll award raises the bar for women’s representation in the C-Suite and board room and is included in Executive Alliance’s Annual Census of Women Board Directors in Maryland. The Honor Roll Award ties into Executive Alliance’s Annual Census Report of Women Board Directors, which will be released at our Honor Roll event. All of the Honor Roll companies and non-profit organizations will be celebrated at Executive Alliance’s Honor Roll event, held Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at Knott Auditorium at Notre Dame of Maryland University.
