WellAdvantage CEO Jeanne Puglisi Sherwood has been named to The Daily Record’s list of “Maryland’s Top 100 Women.” The list, now in its 18th year, recognizes outstanding achievement by women as demonstrated through professional accomplishments, community leadership and mentoring.
“I am honored to be among such a distinguished group of women,” said Ms. Sherwood. “This represents a great achievement on both a personal level as well as for the power of women-owned business in our state. I’m proud to have such a dedicated group of WellAdvantage employees on our team.”
Ms. Sherwood, a registered nurse, founded WellAdvantage in 2001. Based in Sykesville, Md., the company provides clients with access to activities, services and education to promote healthier lifestyles. Working with employers, insurance companies and individuals, WellAdvantage offers innovative, customized programs that cover fitness and exercise, stress reduction, smoking cessation and healthy eating through workplace programs and one-on-one coaching.
More than 370 nominations were received this year. A panel of judges, made up on business professionals and past award winners, reviewed the applications and selected the 2014 honorees. The awards will be presented at an evening reception May 5 at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore and profiled in the May 9 issue of The Daily Record.
“Each of Maryland’s Top 100 Women honorees is different in some way from one another, yet all share a common goal–to inspire those around them to be the best,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record. “Women are an amazing resource for our state, and The Daily Record is honored to recognize their accomplishments.”
