Peterson and Daniels were recognized together in the area of civic leadership for Johns Hopkins' dedication to the community through initiatives such as HopkinsLocal.
"The 51 individuals being recognized this year as Influential Marylanders stand out above others in their industries. They are influencing the business community, the state and often beyond," said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record, a Baltimore-based business and legal newspaper that launched the award in 2006. "What they say is important, and what they do makes a difference in the lives of many Marylanders. The Daily Record is pleased to honor them."
The winners will be recognized March 17 at a reception at The Grand Lodge in Cockeysville.
A full list of honorees by category appears below. Elected leaders are not eligible for inclusion because they are by nature influential.
