ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, has announced the launch of the 2024 ISSA Emerging Leaders Awards.
This inaugural awards program is designed to recognise the brightest young talents from across the cleaning industry supply chain – manufacturers, manufacturer representatives, wholesalers, distributors, building service contractors, in-house service providers, residential cleaners and associated service members – who are proven leaders in their field.
Participation in the ISSA Emerging Leaders Awards program is a complimentary benefit for all current ISSA members and nominations are open to anyone employed by an ISSA member company who will be younger than 40 years old as of 30 November 2024.
John Barrett, ISSA Executive Director, said: “In recent years, we have witnessed an influx of fresh new talent in the cleaning industry. There’s no better time than right now to cast a spotlight on these rising stars. As an association, we have an obligation to acknowledge the amazing achievements of these Emerging Leaders as we encourage them to continue to shine brightly and elevate our entire industry to new heights.”
Now through 31 July, ISSA members are invited to help shape the next generation of industry pioneers by nominating individuals and completing a short questionnaire at the website below. Self-nominations are also accepted. The winning submissions will be selected by the ISSA Emerging Leaders Committee and notified in early October.
The 2024 ISSA Emerging Leaders will be recognized in Las Vegas this November as part of ISSA Show North America 2024. This year’s winners also will be featured in an article of the association’s member magazine, ISSA Today, and across ISSA’s social media channels.
