Nominations Now Open for the Hagerty/TCBN 40Under40

June 10, 2023

For 17 years, the Traverse City Business News, sister publication to Northern Express, has been celebrating the young movers and shakers of northern Michigan with the 40Under40 awards. Now, it’s time for a new class of superstars, and the TCBN is open to applications for the 2023 cohort. Individuals in Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Benzie, and Kalkaska counties are eligible for nomination. (And, of course, they must be under the age of 40 until at least September 1.) Nominees stand out for their leadership, local influence, economic impact, and community service in our region. To put a friend or colleague’s hat in the ring, head to tcbusinessnews.com/40-under-40-nomination-form. You’ll want to have their job title and contact info prepared along with some shining achievements and compelling reasons why they should make the list. All nominations are due by June 21 at 5pm. Winners will be notified ahead of the September announcement and featured in that month’s issue of the TCBN.
