S
ince we started GPN's
Forty Under 40 program
back in 2012, we have
identified 400 men and women
who will be piloting our industry
into the future. Now it is time to
meet the next 40.
GPN's Forty Under 40 program
was created to shine the
spotlight on the amazing young
talent in our industry. Those
individuals are shining bright
and because of them the future
of the horticulture industry is
very bright!
The program has been
immensely popular over the last
decade. In fact, this year we had
a record number of nominations.
Whittling the list down to 40
was an extremely challenging
task for our judging panel — but
we did it and I am extremely
proud to introduce you to this
year's class.
Please meet GPN's Forty Under
40 Class of 2022!

40 UNDER 40
Do you know a young mover and shaker
in the horticulture industry? Do you think
that person should be a member of GPN's
Forty Under 40 Class of 2023? If that
person is under the age of 40 on Jan. 31,
2023, then you should nominate him or her
for next year's class.
We will begin accepting nominations on
our website (www.gpnmag.com) beginning
in November. Previously nominated
individual who have not been selected in
prior years can be nominated again as long
as they have not yet turned 40.
We will provide additional details on
the nomination process for next year in
upcoming issues of GPN as well as our
weekly enewsletter, GPN Weekly.

program, feel free to contact me at
