Since 2010, this program has spotlighted more than 180 exceptional emerging leaders who are making a noticeable difference in companies all across the promotional products industry.

Many past winners have risen to industry leadership, including two who currently sit on the PPAI Board of Directors: The Image Group’s Zack Ottenstein and Kara Keister, MAS, of Social Good Promotions.

Who do you think are the up-and-comers the industry should recognize in 2024?

We’re looking for nominees who are under the age of 40 and, based on what they’ve already achieved at such a young age, have a bright, lengthy future in the industry.

Nominees selected for this year’s honor will be recognized at PPAI’s Leadership Development Conference this fall and profiled in the cover story of the December issue of PPAI Magazine.

Nominators will be asked to provide specific details and examples about your nominee to help the PPAI judging panel evaluate true star quality.

All nominees must work for a PPAI member company. Previous honorees are not eligible. The deadline for nominations is July 29.
