Debbie Staigerwald honored as 'Woman Making a Difference'

Earlier this month, Dundalk’s Debbie Staigerwald was honored as a Woman Making a Difference at Baltimore County’s 42nd annual Women of the Year Awards for her work with The Sky is the Limit Community Theatre.

Staigerwald founded the Baltimore County Recreation and Parks Office of Therapeutic Recreation Services’ “The Sky is the Limit” creative arts program, which provides barrier-free performing arts opportunities for people with all abilities.

Formerly a volunteer manager for The Arc Baltimore, Staigerwald also worked for the Governor’s Office for Service and Volunteerism under Governors Bob Ehrlich and Martin O’Malley; the Maryland Department of Emergency Management and the Baltimore County Department of Aging and the Howard County Arts Council.

The Women of the Year Awards honor women residents of Baltimore County who have made significant, unique and lasting contributions within their community to champion the interests and needs of women and families; serve as role models of inspiration and achievement for other women; or enhance the lives of the citizens of Baltimore County.
