Executive Alliance, which promotes women leaders in Maryland, has named 50 Maryland companies and non-profit organizations to its Honor Roll Award for Women’s Representation. This award is designed to recognize and celebrate companies and organizations that are creative and supportive in recruitment, development, support and advancement of women in the workplace and corporate boards. Each Honor Roll award organization has AT LEAST 30% of their executive leadership AND 30% of their board of director seats held by women.

The Honor Roll award raises the bar for women’s representation in the C-Suite and board room and is included in Executive Alliance’s Annual Census of Women Board Directors in Maryland. The Honor Roll Award ties into Executive Alliance’s Annual Census Report of Women Board Directors, which will be released at our Honor Roll event.

All of the Honor Roll companies and non-profit organizations will be celebrated at Executive Alliance’s Honor Roll event, held Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at The Maritime Center in Linthicum Heights, MD.

Mentees Graduate from Executive Alliance Effective Impact Mentoring Program

By Kristin Wagonblott • June 12, 2025

"A circle of women who don’t just network, we nurture. Who don’t just connect, we challenge. Who don’t just support, we strategize." – Stacie Spragins, 2024-2025 Mentee Tuesday, June 3 rd , Executive Alliance graduated 10 women from its Effective Impact Mentoring Program. This 9-month program helps women at the mid-level of their career gain the skills they need to move into senior leadership roles by teaming 8 half-day professional development sessions with a one-on-one mentoring relationship with an Executive Alliance member. For more information about the cohort forming, see www.executivealliance.org/mentoring At the graduation event, mentees and their supporters heard from mentees Diamond Frazier of SECU MD and Stacie Spragins of leadRpoint. Diamond and Stacie shared their experiences and growth through the program arc as representatives of their class. Diamond, Virtual Business Advisor at SECU, launched her own non-profit Better Than Yesterday Mentoring during the program year. She said, “I gave birth to a new version of myself; one who knows her worth, owns her power and refuses to wait for permission to succeed.” Stacie came to the program after starting her own consultancy, leadRpoint, sharing that the program created a fundamental shift for her. “This community didn’t just help me find my voice. You helped me hear it. I feel like a mighty warrior,” she says. Mentoring co-chairs Tracy Imm, Tracy Imm Worldwide, and NaTasha Horton, Truist Bank, led the program, focusing on developing each mentee and matching mentees and mentors to create transformative relationships. NaTasha recognized the power of that mentoring relationship, saying “we often say that mentorship is a two-way street. As much as your mentors poured into you, you reminded us what purpose looks like in action. You challenged us to think differently, to listen more deeply, and to keep growing ourselves. For that, we thank you.” Tracy spoke more broadly about the effect of the program, which has graduated over 220 women since 1997. “Executive Alliance’s Mentoring Program provides that safe space for mid-career women to engage candidly with executive women on workplace issues they are navigating. Our graduates consistently gain clarity around values, strengths, leadership styles while learning new skills. Co-chairing the program was a rewarding professional experience for me this past year and I’m grateful to have led the effort with NaTasha Horton from Truist Bank.” Congratulations to our mentees – and their mentors!
