ENR MidAtlantic is excited to announce the region’s Top Young Professionals for 2024.
The program recognizes individuals who are not only leaders in the industry but in their communities as well. They have built extraordinary industry portfolios in just a few short years. In addition, many donate significant time and expertise to serve their communities.
Hailing from across the region—which includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia—each recipient will be profiled in more detail in the February issue of ENR MidAtlantic.
After nearly 50 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.
The judges were: Elizabeth Brownell, senior associate at Thornton Tomasetti, and a member of ENR’s 2021 national Top 20 Under 40 group, and Susan McCann, senior design-build proposal manager at Allan Myers Inc.
You can read more about each young professional in the February print issue of ENR MidAtlantic.
