Annual Hall of Leadership Awards Dinner

Our Annual Awards Dinner is an exclusive event for our membership where we will recognize and honor the outstanding achievements and contributions of members, individuals, or organizations within the community or industry. This event serves as a platform for members and stakeholders to network, connect, and foster meaningful relationships. We will have many special guests in attendance from the public sector part of our industry, FHWA, MDOT, DDOT and more. Fostering a sense of fellowship and camaraderie among fellow members, let's gain inspiration that will help strengthen these important partnerships. 

We are honored to host two distinguished guest speakers: Maryland Lt. Governor Aruna Miller and NFL legend Ozzie Newsome. Lt. Governor Miller will share her insights on Maryland's transportation future and leadership vision, while Ozzie Newsome will inspire with his incredible journey from the field to the front office.

And that’s not all—an exclusive VIP Meet & Greet with Ozzie Newsome offers an opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired in a more intimate setting. This exclusive experience is available through a special sponsorship—reach out to Laurie for details on securing your spot and taking part in this unique opportunity.

New Venue:
This year, we’re excited to host the event at the Gaylord Hotel in National Harbor—a stunning location known for its luxurious atmosphere, gorgeous waterfront views, and state-of-the-art facilities. This prestigious venue offers the perfect backdrop for our most celebrated event of the year!

We'll start with a welcome reception including festive drinks, delicious hors d'oeuvres, awards ceremony, dinner and entertainment. The Annual Awards Dinner is where we'll commemorate the newest inductee into the esteemed MTBMA Hall of Leadership, we will also share key updates, accomplishments, and future plans of the organization with members and partners, hitting on our 5 year Strategic Plan that was established in 2022. As an association, we are here to gather feedback, and involve members in shaping the organization's future based on our core values.
