Annual Awards at Whitehall Mill

The evening of June 1, NDC joined with our partners, volunteers and family to celebrate notable Maryland influencers in the design and community development fields, share recent accomplishments and launch our vision for NDC’s next five years. As we move into our 50th year, exciting growth and development are on the horizon, as we build on our rich history.

This year, NDC re-instituted the tradition of publicly honoring our volunteers and partners by telling their stories and presenting awards at the annual meeting. Awardees were recognized for their selfless dedication to the work of community design and community development, in the following categories:

Hall of Fame: Martina ReillyBaltimore Volunteer of the Year: Jimmy LeonardPrince George’s Volunteer of the Year: Walida SmithBaltimore Community Advocate of the Year: Regina HammondThe Kelley Oklesson Community Advocate of the Year: Margaret Morgan-HubbardThe Larry Reich Award: Laurie Feinberg

The event, in conjunction with the NDC Board’s Annual Meeting, was held at Whitehall Mill’s soon to be developed market hall. Attendees, who ranged from 7 months to 70+ years, and enjoyed light fare, music, stories and local beer, in an ambiance of conviviality.
