The Arc Maryland Annual Awards

The Arc Maryland Awards Program recognizes those individuals, groups, and communities whose contributions to the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) represent meritorious service or achievement and warrants special statewide recognition.

Throughout the year, and through their efforts to advance inclusion in schools, workplaces, healthcare, and the community, there are Marylanders who stand above the rest.  They are the ones working to create a better world; a world where children and adults with IDD have and enjoy equal rights and opportunities.  Let’s make sure they know we appreciate them and their contributions.  They are the bedrock of our movement and essential to our future!

Congratulations to our slate of 2022 honorees, who were recognized during The Arc Maryland’s 2022 Convention and Awards Banquet on May 17th at Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City!
