About the Award

The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club will present it's 12th annual Movers & Shakers Awards in 2018.  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 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.

Join us to congratulate our 2018 winners at our annual awards ceremony on March 23, 2018 at Lago. You can register to attend here.
