Nominated by their peers and chosen by our staff, the professionals honored here are driving improvements in sales, customer service, marketing and technology, engineering, and more. They’re helping grow the industry locally and nationally. And we need your help finding and recognizing them.

Winners must be under 40 years old on Dec. 31 of this year. We accept nominations from peers and from potential winners themselves. Award criteria is largely subjective; but you know a leader when you see one, and we do too. The Under 40 Award recipients are innovators, solving problems with new ideas, strategies and tactics. They are relentless, with a work ethic that sets an example. They are helpful, working unselfishly beyond their own job title and description. And they are promoters, helping advance the OPE industry for future growth and opportunities.

Winners will be profiled in the March issue of OPE+Landscape, and invited to a future editorial advisory board meeting to accept their award.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES IS JANUARY 1
