The Arc Baltimore Honors Erik Daly

The Arc Baltimore has presented its annual President’s Cup Award to Erik Daly, Business Development Director at BDO USA, LLP.

Awarded during The Arc Baltimore’s recent Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony, the President’s Cup honors that Board member who has distinguished him- or herself by providing exemplary service to The Arc. The Award recipient is selected at the sole discretion of the President of The Arc Baltimore’s Board of Directors.

Daly, who joined The Arc’s Board in 2015, has served on the Finance Committee, as Treasurer, and most recently, as Vice President of the Board.

“Everyone associated with The Arc is immensely grateful for Erik’s partnership and experience,” says The Arc’s Chief Executive Officer, Kathleen McNally Durkin “As the father of a young man with autism spectrum disorder, his perspective has been valuable and his counsel to the Board has been wise.”

Durkin notes that Daly always brought insight and expertise to his work on the Board. He played an instrumental role in helping The Arc toward termination of its defined benefit pension plan, resulting in a huge cost savings for the organization.

A 23-year veteran of the financial services industry, Daly leads BDO’s sales and marketing efforts throughout the Baltimore region, where he has provided advice to businesses in a variety of industries over the years.

The Arc Baltimore’s 2021 Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony featured the election of the organization’s new board of directors and officers, and award recognitions for those who have gone above and beyond in their service to The Arc Baltimore.

“The hard work and dedication of all of our award recipients and nominees, and so many others, is the critical component which enables The Arc Baltimore to support people with developmental disabilities to lead fulfilling lives with a sense of belonging, purpose, and meaningful relationships,” Durkin concludes.
