Hawaii Business "20 for the Next 20"

Deadline Nov 26: 20 for the Next 20 Nominations

Every year, Hawaii Business identifies 20 people whose talents, accomplishments and potential set them apart as emerging leaders of Hawaii over the next two decades. They call them 20 for the Next 20, Hawaii's People to Watch.  Past honorees have been described as energetic, innovative, entrepreneurial, talented, intelligent and charismatic leaders of tomorrow. These “People to Watch” may come from any field: business, public service, law, entrepreneurship, education, government service or elsewhere. Age is not a factor. However, elected politicians or people running for elective office will not be considered.
 
Which people do you think are worth considering?
Some things that will help them are:
• Facts about the nominee, including name and key roles in the community;
• Their accomplishments at work and elsewhere, and what makes them special;
• Why you think they are destined for even greater things in Hawaii; and
• Your association with the nominee and their contact info.

Click here to submit your nominations. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 26 and they will profile each of the 20 in our March issue.
