A Charlotte awards program honoring
difference-makers in our community who are in their 40s and beyond.

This isn't about the boldface names or high-profile leaders dominating headlines.

The 40 Over 40 Awards shine a spotlight on the remarkable individuals quietly making profound contributions to the Charlotte community. Beyond age lies a wealth of wisdom, and the 40 Over 40 Awards magnify the power of experience.

These are the individuals who have navigated the lessons of their 20s and 30s, using that knowledge to fuel meaningful change in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

From business to education, nonprofits to healthcare, and every sector shaping Charlotte, these seasoned leaders are raising the bar.

Nominations will reopen January 2025.

Nominate the difference-makers, the change catalysts, and the community stalwarts who embody the essence of 40 Over 40.

Together, let's honor experience, celebrate impact, and amplify the voices of those who, in their 40s and beyond, are making Charlotte a better place for all.
