Baltimore, Md., (Nov. 1, 2024) — The Daily Record has selected Cynthia S. Bambara, Ph.D., president of Allegany College of Maryland, as a 2024 Icon Honors recipient.
Icon Honors recognizes Maryland business leaders, over the age of 60, for their notable success and demonstration of strong leadership within and outside their fields. The honorees have moved their businesses and the state of Maryland forward by growing jobs and making a difference in the community.
To be eligible for Icon Honors, honorees must have a long-standing commitment to the Maryland business community. Honorees must also have a sustained commitment to community service and mentoring. They may be in the workforce or retired and must hold or have held senior management-level positions with significant authority in decision-making for their organization. The winners were selected by the editors of The Daily Record.
“The 2024 Icon Honors recipients are visionary leaders who make a difference for many of us in Maryland and beyond. Their professional achievements, community awareness and action are outstanding, and they are role models for all of us,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/The Daily Record. “They also look to the future by mentoring the next generation of leaders. We at The Daily Record congratulate this year’s honorees."
This year’s Icon Honors recipients will be celebrated Dec. 9 at The Center Club, 100 Light Street in Baltimore and profiled in a special magazine insert in the December 10 issue of The Daily Record. It will be available online at TheDailyRecord.com.
Bambara was also honored by The Daily Record as one of Maryland's Top 100 Women in May.
