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.
2026 Nominations open on January 19th
