Emerging Leaders of Southern Vermont
The Southern Vermont Young Professionals and the Shires Young Professionals are proud to annually honor a cohort of Emerging Leaders, who are working hard to make Southern Vermont an even more vibrant place to live.
Do you know someone doing amazing work in your community? Someone who brings passion, skill and empathy into the workplace and beyond?
Sounds like you might know an Emerging Leader!
The nominee will receive an email with instructions for accepting their nomination and will be honored during the annual Southern Vermont Economy Summit. Emerging Leaders will also be nominated for Vermont Business Magazine's Rising Stars award. We’re proud to note that 38 Emerging Leaders have been named as Rising Stars since 2018!
Some Quick Tips:
-
Nominee must be between the ages of 21 and 40.
-
Nominee must live or work in Bennington County or the Windham Region
-
Previously recognized Emerging Leaders will not be honored again (though if you accidentally nominate a previous Emerging Leader, no worries; they'll just get a nice little ego boost). You can see a full list of previous awardees here.
-
You may -- and should! -- submit as many nominations as you like.
-
Nominations are due by March 14, 2025
Congratulations 2025 Emerging Leaders!
