The Baltimore Banner Celebrates Third Anniversary with Impact Maryland Conference and Community Initiatives

The Baltimore Banner, a nonprofit news organization, has celebrated its third anniversary by solidifying its position as the largest newsroom in Maryland and earning a Pulitzer Prize, underscoring its significant impact on the state's media landscape. Sharon Nevins, the Chief Revenue Officer and Executive Director of The Banner’s Impact Maryland, has been central to these achievements, leveraging her extensive experience in marketing and brand development to guide the organization's strategic direction.

One of the standout initiatives under Nevins' leadership is the Impact Maryland thought leadership conference, now in its third year. Scheduled for October 14th, the event is designed to convene generational leaders and influential voices to tackle critical policies and challenges facing Maryland. Previous editions have featured high-profile speakers like Governor Wes Moore and former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, setting a precedent for insightful discussions and valuable networking.

This year's conference is poised to uphold its reputation for excellence, with a diverse lineup of speakers and panelists from various sectors. Participants will explore innovative solutions and forward-thinking ideas for Maryland's future, alongside networking opportunities such as a lunch and cocktail celebration. Recognized as Baltimore's premier annual business event by the MDDC Press Association for two years running, Impact Maryland is a key gathering for professionals aiming to enhance their regional connections.
