The 2022 class of ENR MidAtlantic’s Top Young Professionals represents the best and brightest emerging design and construction leaders from across the region, which includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.

The awards program honors individuals who have built extraordinary industry portfolios in just a few short years. In addition, many donate significant amounts of time and expertise to serve their communities.

Each recipient will be profiled in more detail in the February issue of ENR MidAtlantic.

After nearly 40 entries were received for this year's competition, the judges narrowed the submissions down to 20 winners. We strongly encourage anyone who submitted but did not win to resubmit next year if the candidate is still eligible–just be sure to save a copy of your entry and add in all the applicants most recent accomplishments.

You can read more about each winner in the February print issue of ENR MidAtlantic.
