ENR Mountain States is pleased to announce the winners of our annual Top Young Professionals competition, which recognizes up-and-coming industry leaders under the age of 40 from across the Mountain States region.
This year’s competition, which was conducted on a national basis via a series of regional contests, attracted many qualified nominees in our seven-state region alone (Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Idaho and Montana).
Across the country, hundreds of future leaders were nominated based on their education, career experience, industry leadership, community service and other factors.
Here, in alphabetical order, are the 2021 regional honorees and their firms. Their profiles will be printed in the February issue of ENR Mountain States.
