Oakland County issued the following announcement on Nov. 14.
If you or someone you know has made significant contributions at work, school or to the quality of life in southeast Michigan and think he or she – or you – should be recognized for the good work, you have a little extra time to make that happen.
The deadline for entries for the Oakland County Executive’s Elite 40 under 40 Class of 2020 has been extended until next Friday. Applicants must complete their entry by 5 p.m. November 15. The program began in 2012 to honor young professionals and community leaders who excel in their field.
“Oakland County is ranked as the best county in Michigan for young professionals according to Niche,” County Executive David Coulter said. “We want to honor diverse entrepreneurs and young professionals who are excelling in fields of service who are also improving the quality of life in their communities.”
To enter, go to www.Elite40.com. Applicants must live, work or attend school in Oakland County to be eligible.
A panel of former Elite 40 class members will review and score all completed applications and reduce the number to the top 60 entrants. An independent panel of judges will choose the top 40, forming the 2020 Elite 40 class.
The class will be announced January 29, 2020.
All class members will be invited to participate in a host of county events. Past members have joined the Oakland County Business Roundtable and other advisory committees within the county including the 2020 State of the County address.
Complete information about rules and prizes are available at www.Elite40.com.
