The Daily Record has named Goodell DeVries as a recipient of the 2024 Empowering Women Award. Empowering Women winners will be honored at The Daily Record’s Women’s Leadership Summit on October 22 at the University of Maryland SMC Campus Center in Baltimore.
The Empowering Women Awards recognize companies and organizations that show a strong commitment to supporting and elevating women in Maryland. Honorees demonstrate a track record of hiring and promoting women; support programs to mentor women in their organizations and address inequalities; show a strong record of women on the company’s board or in C-suite positions; and establish DEI programs and philanthropic efforts to support women. Judges reviewed each nominee’s application and letters of reference and evaluated the information relative to the company’s resources.
“We are thrilled to be recognized as an Empowering Women Award honoree,” says K. Nichole Nesbitt, the firm’s Managing Partner. “Throughout our three-decade history, Goodell DeVries has been intentional about providing opportunities for women to advance at every level. Our strong platforms for mentorship, leadership, and professional development create an environment for women lawyers and administrative professionals to thrive. We are proud of our large demographic of women partners and leaders, and the culture of equity we have created here.”
“The 2024 Empowering Women honorees invest in, elevate, and support women leaders throughout the state. They demonstrate tangible, innovative efforts to assist women in taking on new opportunities in business and in the community,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/The Daily Record. “We are pleased to honor these organizations that show a strong commitment to women leaders in Maryland.”
