NOMINATIONS FOR 2025 ARE OPEN!
We are seeking nominations for Trailblazers across the state. Trailblazers are people who are under 40 as of June 30, 2025; who are having significant business success; and who are making a positive impact on their communities.
For this section, focus on people who work in cities and towns with fewer than 100,000 people. (In other words, outside of the state’s most populous cities of Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, Cary, Wilmington, High Point and Concord.)
We invite nominations that include short statements supporting these influential business leaders, citing key accomplishments in the last two years and basic biographical information including age, title, hometown and number of years spent in their current community.
Our selections will be profiled in our October magazine. Nominations close July 18, 2025.
