15th Annual Top 25 Under 35 Movers & Shakers Awards
The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club is pleased to announce applications for the 15th Annual Movers and Shakers Awards celebrating the top 25 under 35 young professionals in Cleveland are now open. Since 2006, The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club has recognized 350 young professionals through the annual Movers & Shakers Award. The award recognizes young leaders that have a record of excellence in their work, civic engagement, and philanthropic efforts. These individuals give selflessly for their community, volunteer with local non-profits, or are up-and-coming leaders in their community or place of business. We recognize professionals who are in for-profit, non-profit, government, and military, and from anywhere in Northeast Ohio.
The awards celebrate the success of young professionals in Cleveland while showcasing their talents to the entire Cleveland community. The awards and the ceremony are an opportunity to reflect on the excellent examples set by some of our most promising young leaders. We are proud to bring this diverse and deserving group together to honor their achievements and help connect young professionals and others with the region’s current and future leaders.
