Recognize leaders who excel, inspire, and shape something extraordinary.
The Maryland Business Hall of Fame was established in 2000 to recognize the accomplishments of entrepreneurs and business executives throughout Maryland whose contributions, in business and in the community, have helped to advance the quality of life for Marylanders and the state’s business climate.
Members of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce nominate the individuals. The inductees are selected by the Chamber’s Executive Committee and honored each year at the Maryland Chamber’s Annual Membership Meeting and Business Hall of Fame Awards Dinner.
