The 2nd Annual Emerging Leader Awards program honours members of the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) community who demonstrate excellence, impress, and inspire their co-workers, and are well on their way to becoming the next leaders in the profession.
These awards recognize young professionals for excellence in design, leadership, initiative, and/or service to the community. Nominated by a member or members of their team, finalists were selected by a jury of peers. You can read more about the finalists in our December issue, so make sure to grab a copy!
