Seven Days … and Counting By Tim Hodson

The deadline for nominations for GPN’s 40 Under 40 Class of 2018 is one week from today!

Next Monday, Jan. 22, is the deadline for you to let us know who you think should be a member of the Class of 2018.

We are looking for the next group of individuals who are this year’s superstars and will be leading our industry into the future — and are in a class by themselves! 

These young professionals are charting a course for our industry’s future. They are growers, breeders, business owners, scientists, garden center operators, landscapers, educators, marketers … any individual who plays an active role in the horticulture industry can be nominated … as long as they are under the age of 40 (as of Jan. 31, 2018).

Every member of our previous classes (this will be our seventh) was nominated by their peers. That is why we are relying on you to tell us who you believe should be in the Class of 2018 and why they should in this year’s class. We want you to make their case. Educate us on their accomplishments and why they are worthy of the honor.

If you’d like to take a walk down memory lane and see who the alums of our 40 Under 40 program are and what they have done, just click here to check out our archives.

Remember, the deadline is just seven days away.

All you have to do to nominate someone is go to www.gpnmag.com/40-under-40-awards and fill out the online form.
