— UPCOMING EVENT

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

40 UNDER 40

The Leadership Center of Arlington and Leadership Fairfax are proud to partner to recognize young leaders through the Northern Virginia 40 Under 40. This event celebrates emerging leaders who demonstrate exceptional and impactful leadership in their professional and personal spheres within the Northern Virginia region. 

How it works:

Individuals under 40 years old who are making an impact in Northern Virginia and meet the honoree criteria below are nominated by someone who works with the individual either in a professional or volunteer capacity (you may not nominate yourself). Then nominees are emailed an invitation to complete an application.

Nominations and applications are reviewed by an anonymous selection committee. The committee considers the honoree criteria, below. Selection is confidential.

After the selected honorees are notified, they prepare and submit a personal video statement on leadership (max 30 seconds), answering one of a set of questions.

The honorees are recognized at a free virtual celebration (all are welcome to attend), followed by an in-person reception (for honorees with a guest and sponsors only).
