Baltimore Outstanding Women in Business / Women Who Mean Business

Overview

Baltimore Business Journal’s Women Who Mean Business / Outstanding Women in Business is an annual editorial recognition honoring women leaders who are making a significant impact in business and the community. It is run by the Baltimore Business Journal, a regional business publication, and companies and nominees pursue it for visibility, credibility with peers, and networking exposure through a well-known local business media brand. The program is editorially curated by the journal rather than a pay-to-play ranking, which adds credibility within the Baltimore business community.
