Hailing from across the region—which includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia—the 2023 ENR MidAtlantic’s Top Young Professionals are not only leaders in the industry but in their communities as well. 

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

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

After more than 60 entries were received for this year's competition, judges narrowed submissions to 20 selected. We strongly encourage anyone who submitted but did not win to resubmit next year if the candidate is still eligible–be sure to save a copy of your entry and add in the applicant's most recent accomplishments.

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