The Baltimore Banner's Emerging Leaders event shines a light on the next generation of community leaders who are bringing meaningful change to better Baltimore and the surrounding counties. The honorees are selected by a selection committee that includes members from The Baltimore Banner and a small group of business and community leaders who are renowned for their work in the region. This passing of the baton is designed to inspire generational commitment to the importance of making an exceptional impact in Baltimore. The 2025 honorees will be community-minded and show personal commitment to service and helping those in need. We celebrate these outstanding individuals and their extraordinary impact with a dinner and award ceremony. 

Nominations for the class of the 2025 Baltimore Banner's Emerging Leaders are now open. To submit a nomination, please click here
