HousingWire is now accepting applications for its fifth annual Rising Stars award program. We are looking for the best, boldest, and most dynamic young industry leaders.
This award isn’t for just anyone. HousingWire’s Rising Stars celebrates industry leaders and innovators under the age of 40.
Special, right?
These young innovators help run major companies or they are growing the next great business, and they’re in any industry segment, such as lending, servicing, investing and real estate.
Last year, we profiled 40 industry professionals that are energizing the housing economy. Take a look, they’re great.
Our award winners contribute to housing through leadership, strategic planning, innovation, product development, enhancing processes and data analysis. And it’s not gone unnoticed as their efforts and accomplishments are transforming the industry.
