In response to his induction, Dorsey said, “I’m grateful to be recognized as an Influential Marylander for a third time. Our founder, Leroy Merritt, was committed to supporting the communities in which we build, and it is an honor to continue that legacy. We know that our company will only be as strong as our community.” 

Dorsey joined The Circle of Influence along with three-time award winners, J. Kirby Fowler with The Maryland Zoo, Terrance Hasseltine with Maryland Sports Commission, Dr. Sandra Kurtinitis with the Community College of Baltimore County and Leslie Simmons with LifeBridge Health.
