NGLA Awards

The Next Generation Leader Awards (NGLAs) are designed to salute the region’s young professionals under the age of 40 for significant accomplishments in their chosen professional field, demonstrated leadership, as well as their contribution to the community.

Nominees are judged by a panel of community leaders and experts in each of 10 distinct categories. Judges select three finalists in each category. Recognition of our finalists and the announcement of the winner in each category take place at the annual NGLA program and dinner in July.
