The 20 Under 40 Awards recognize younger members of our community who are outstanding professionals, leaders, and contributors to San Angelo. Nominations open in June and 20 individuals are chosen by an anonymous Selection Committee based upon a blind point system. An awards ceremony is held in October to honor these outstanding young professionals. The importance of this program is undeniable, as it helps build the young leadership infrastructure that will ensure San Angelo remains vibrant, engaged, and forward-thinking well into the future.
