About the Award

The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club will present it's 13th annual Movers & Shakers Awards in 2019.  The award celebrates 25 individuals under the age of 35 for excellence in their work, civic engagement, academia, and/or philanthropic efforts.  Each year it is extremely difficult to determine Northeast Ohio's 'Movers & Shakers' due to the outstanding nominations and applications received.  The application process typically begins in mid-January and concludes early to mid-February, with an awards ceremony held each March to honor the 25 individuals selected.  We look forward to welcoming the next group of young professionals into our Movers & Shakers family and supporting them in all of their endeavors to help Cleveland thrive.
