For Immediate Release
Glass Jacobson’s Tammy Schneider Honored
as One of Maryland’s “Leading Women.”
Award Given to Women of “Tremendous Accomplishment”
Tammy Schneider
OWINGS MILLS, Md. – December 5, 2011 – Baltimore CPA wealth management firm Glass Jacobson is pleased to announce that Tammy Schneider, director of the firm’s Women-Owned
Business Practice, has been honored as one of The Daily Record’s “Leading Women” of 2011.
The annual award was presented this year to 46 women 40 years old or younger “for the tremendous accomplishments they have made so far in their career,” according to Baltimore’s The Daily Record. The women are judged based on “professional experience, community involvement and a commitment to inspiring change.”
Ms. Schneider certainly scored high marks in all three categories. She has been the director of Glass Jacobson’s Women-Owned Business Practice since its inception in 2010 and co-founded the successful series of women-focused seminars – “Women: Protect Yourself!” – that strive to teach women financial and legal strategies to keep their businesses and their personal lives solid, as well as providing relevant personal help in areas such as self-defense and nutrition.
Ms. Schneider is also tremendously active in the Baltimore community and philanthropic activities. For two years she has served on the board of directors for Camp Fire USA – Baltimore, Inc., one of the state’s leading not-for-profit youth development organizations that allow young people to participate in community-based experiential learning programs that are socially responsible and environmentally focused.
She also sits on Junior Achievement MD’s Associate Council and contributes bi-monthly articles to the Independent Insurance Agents of MD’s “Maryland Messenger” publication. Ms. Schneider is a supporting member National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and volunteers time with Mechanicsville Elementary School PTA, Carroll County YMCA Sports, Oasis Homeless Shelter and her church.
“This recognition shows what we at Glass Jacobson have known since Tammy Schneider joined the firm in 2007 – that she is a dynamic force for positivity for Baltimore’s business community and the women who work in it,” said Glass Jacobson President Ed Jacobson. “Her tireless work ethic, devotion to the community and creativity are an inspiration for everybody who is fortunate enough to work with her.”
The Daily Record received more than 100 nominations for this year’s “Leading Women” award, and Ms. Schneider’s accomplishments stood out as particularly inspirational. In addition to her frenetic professional schedule, she maintains a close and loving family relationship with her husband and two sons and has achieved the balance so many struggle to find.
“While I’m very pleased to be included in a group of truly amazing women, I hope my success can continue helping other women carve their own path to success,” Ms. Schneider said. “If future “Leading Women” awards are given to women I’ve helped along the way, then I’ll feel like I truly earned the award.”
