VermontBiz recognizes

Vermont’s Rising Stars

Class of 2024

Outstanding young leaders chosen for contributions to the Vermont economy and their community

 

VermontBiz is proud to announce the winners of its Rising Stars recognition award. The list is comprised of 40 winners under the age of 40. Award recipients were selected by a panel of judges for their commitment to business growth, professional excellence, and involvement in their communities.

“We are thrilled by the response to this initiative to recognize these up-and-coming leaders nominated by the Vermont business community. This is our 15th year,” said VermontBiz Publisher. 

“We received over 180 outstanding nominations this year. The total number of honorees over the past 14 years now totals 681. The five judges had a difficult time picking the top 40. These young professionals have chosen to make Vermont home. These honorees over the years have stepped up as leaders, not only at their place of employment but also in their communities,” Boutin said.

VermontBiz will honor Vermont's most accomplished young leaders at the Rising Stars special event on November 7th. The honorees will also be featured in the November issue of VermontBiz.
