Now in its 10th year, The Baltimore Sun’s Business and Civic Hall of Fame continues to recognize individuals who have made meaningful, long-term contributions to Baltimore and Maryland. The 2025 class has 13 new honorees, bringing the number of recipients to 122 since the award’s inception. Their work spans business, public service, education, philanthropy and other areas that help to improve and shape this region.

Few cities are fortunate enough to have a columnist like Dan Rodricks, who is retiring from The Baltimore Sun after more than 48 years of chronicling the area’s stories through deeply reported and beautifully told tales of Baltimore and beyond. His thorough knowledge of this region and lyrical storytelling skills have earned him a dedicated and special following. Dan has long been a vital voice in The Baltimore Sun and a fierce champion of our city and state.
