And the winners are: Top 100 Women announced
March 10, 2006By MARK R. CHESHIRE,
Editor in Chief
Of this year's Top 100 Women, more than half are first-time winners, while 20 will pick up the annual award for a third time.
Now in its 11th year, The Daily Record's Top 100 Women contest was created to recognize successful female professionals who give back by mentoring others and working in their communities.
The women will be honored at an awards ceremony on Monday, May 8, beginning with a reception at 5 p.m. at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Tickets go on sale March 24.
Those women who have won for a third time join the Circle of Excellence for sustained achievement (three-time winners are identified below by asterisks).
