Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Coming up in April, we will run our annual special supplement that honors the rising youth in Austin.

Our 20 under 40 edition seeks to highlight the leaders of the future in business, education, diversity, local government and beyond by simply introducing them to the greater public.

On the surface, the tab is little more than a picture and a questionnaire each person answers that allows you, the reader, to better know who we are honoring.

But on the surface it’s far more than that because these are the leaders we will come to rely on as Austin heads into the future.

And with that in mind, we hope you take the time to consider those you work with or associate with for inclusion in this upcoming special section, because we are now taking nominations.

Please send your nominations to eric.johnson@austindailyherald.com. Please include a full name and a contact information, most commonly an email, so that when we make our final choices we can reach out to them.

This is a real opportunity for you to recognize those up and comers in our community, whether that’s in line with a professional or a volunteer. We want to be a part of spreading the word of those younger adults making a difference in Austin.
