What an unforgettable evening we shared at our Annual Meeting and Catalyst for Change Awards! The night was filled with celebration and inspiration as we welcomed eight new board members, recognized outstanding community partners, staff, and people we support, and the leaders helping shape a more inclusive future for Baltimore. A special thank you to our friend Jamie Costello for emceeing the evening alongside Board President Tiana Wynn and CEO Kathleen Durkin.

The energy in the room was incredible — a true reflection of the passionate changemakers who make our mission possible every day. Guests were moved by powerful stories showcasing the dedication, compassion, and impact of our staff, board members, community partners, and the people we support.

We were also proud to honor Erik Daly and Larry Burley, Jr. with the distinguished title of Directors Emeritus in recognition of their years of leadership, dedication, and lasting contributions to and the community we serve.

One of the evening’s most meaningful moments was celebrating a new chapter in leadership as outgoing Board President Tiana Wynn proudly passed the gavel to incoming Board President Marianne Bishoff. We are deeply grateful for Tiana’s leadership and excited for the future ahead under Marianne’s guidance.

Please join us in continuing to celebrate our awardees and the extraordinary achievements that make such a powerful force for inclusion and change!
