🏆 Nominations now open for 40 Over 40 Awards!
We're looking for people who are making Charlotte better in a variety of ways and sectors, all over town
Help us find and recognize unheralded leaders — who are in their 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond
The Charlotte Ledger is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for The Charlotte Ledger 40 Over 40 Awards, Presented by U.S. Bank!
Now in its sixth year, the 40 Over 40 Awards recognize difference-makers in our community who are in their 40s and beyond. Unlike other award programs in Charlotte, which seek to recognize young up-and-comers or well-known leaders, our 40 Over 40 awards celebrate people who have gone largely unrecognized — hard-working, dedicated folks who have taken the lessons from their 20s and 30s and applied them in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even further.
You can help us find and honor 40 more people this year. Whether the winners are in their 40s or in their 90s, we’re hoping to identify folks who are making Charlotte better in a variety of ways and sectors, all over town — in business and education, nonprofits and healthcare, entrepreneurship and volunteerism.
Winners of last year’s Charlotte Ledger 40 Over 40 Awards, at a fun celebration at Griffith Hall at Lenny Boy Brewing Co. last April.
Nominations close Feb. 17, the judges will get to work, we’ll announce the winners in March and have a genuinely fun celebration in May (details to be announced soon).
We are fortunate to have a few sponsors who appreciate the vision of the 40 Over 40 awards and are helping underwrite the event. U.S. Bank is back as the title sponsor, and By George Communications is our name tag sponsor.
➡️ If you or your company would like to help recognize and celebrate unsung leaders in our community, we have sponsorship opportunities available. You can reach out to support@cltledger.com, and Brie or Dani on our team will be happy to talk with you.
