Anyone who knows a young entrepreneur, community leader, teacher or any person who has made significant contributions to their chosen field and the quality of life in the region can recognize them for their good work.
Nominations are being accepted for the Oakland County Executive’s Elite 40 Under 40 Class of 2018. County Executive L. Brooks Patterson started the program in 2012 to honor young professionals and thought leaders who excel in their field and have demonstrated dynamic leadership.
“The first six classes of Elite 40 members are comprised of incredibly talented men and women – some in their early 20s – who are passionate leaders who are making a difference in their communities, at their jobs and in people’s lives every day,” Patterson said. “The problem won’t be finding 40 exceptional people for the Class of 2018. The challenge will be limiting the class to only 40 people. I encourage you to submit a name for consideration or even enter yourself.”
Nominees must live or work in Oakland County to be eligible. To submit a candidate, go to www.AdvantageOakland.com/Elite40 where two entry buttons can be found – one for those who want to nominate someone else and one for those who want to enter themselves. Nominations must be completed by noon, Oct. 30. Those nominating themselves have until Nov. 3 at noon to submit a completed entry.
A panel of former Elite 40 class members will review and score all completed applications from Nov. 13 to Nov. 28 and reduce the number to the top 60 entrants. An independent panel of judges will choose the top 40 from Jan. 8 to Jan. 12, 2018. Of that group, three candidates who scored the highest will be placed before the public from
Jan. 22 to Jan. 26, 2018 for an online vote to determine the winner.
The winner will be announced in February. All class members will be invited to participate in a host of county events. Past members have joined the Oakland County Business Roundtable and other advisory committees within the county.
