Do you know someone who you think is
an industry rock star and hasn't turned 40
yet? If you do, then we want to know about
that person — but not just yet.
GPN will begin accepting nominations
for the Class of 2019 in November.
Anyone in the horticulture business can be
nominated — as long as they are under the
age of 40 on Jan. 31, 2019.
We will publish additional nomination
details in the November issue of GPN as
well as in our e-newsletter, GPN Weekly.
Contact Tim Hodson, GPN's editorial
director, at thodson@greatamericanpublish.
com for more information.
This year's 40 Under 40 is made
up of nothing but class.
The 7th Annual
BY TIM HODSON
I
would like to introduce you to GPN's 40 Under
40 Class of 2018.
There are no class clowns in this year's crop of
young professionals. In fact, they are the cream of
the crop — some of the industry's brightest minds.
They are making their mark in the business
today while charting the course for the industry's
future.
These 24 men and 16 women come from the
many different disciplines that make up the
horticulture industry. Not only do they have a
passion for horticulture, they are passionate about
life and everything it has to offer.
They are reaching new highs when it comes to
their careers and in their personal lives.
This is the seventh year that GPN has recognized
the young men and women who are creating our
industry's future.
This is your chance to learn more about them
and what makes them tick — and how they are
making an impact.
This class is full of class!
