Let's give it up for our 2024 Horizon nominees! The Horizons was created in 2016 to recognize young professionals destined to become this City's future leaders. "The idea I had at the time was to recognize young professionals who are often overlooked because they're just starting their careers. So, to me, the Horizons is a place where we give you a high five, a pat on the back, and tell you we see you, know you're working hard, keep up the great work," said Terrance Craft, MPA, the organization's Executive Director. Terrance's idea became a vision and is now the organization's biggest event, followed by the Annual Meeting and Honors. "When you have a vision, you must communicate it repeatedly and get people to believe in it. When that happens, you'll have many people invested in your vision, and they will help you achieve it. So it's been amazing to see the Horizons grow and evolve over the past eight years. And this year's committee, led by Breanna OConnell, has been touching for me to witness because now I get to see their vision they have and how they're able to make it a reality."

As we applaud the winners, let's acknowledge their perseverance. Their story is one of relentless pursuit, a series of quiet victories leading up to the podium. Recognition is sweet, but it's the relentless dedication that truly shapes success. Let's celebrate not just the award, but the unyielding spirit it represents.
