This Black History Month, we recognize leaders whose vision and perseverance created lasting impact through entrepreneurship and service.
Lillian Lincoln Lambert made history in 1969 as the first Black woman to graduate from Harvard Business School. She went on to found Centennial One, Inc., a successful janitorial company, and was named Maryland’s Small Business Person of the Year in 1981.
At Office Pride, we are proud to be a national organization that supports local small business owners in the communities we serve. Inspired by pioneers like Lambert, we remain committed to empowering entrepreneurs, building strong partnerships, and doing good through service every day.
