NEW YORK (PRWEB) JULY 11, 2022
The Bond Buyer, Arizent’s essential resource serving the municipal finance community, has announced they are now accepting nominations for their seventh-annual Rising Stars program, which showcases the brightest young minds in the municipal bond industry. The publication will also launch their first-ever Hall of Fame to celebrate individuals whose achievements have left an indelible positive impact on the industry at large and the clients or constituents they serve.
This year, for the first time, the Rising Stars will be honored at a special awards dinner on Tuesday, November 15 at the conclusion of The Bond Buyer’s Infrastructure event November 14-15 at the JW Marriott in Washington, D.C.
The awards dinner will also include inaugural inductions into The Bond Buyer Hall of Fame of municipal finance. This new honor will celebrate unparalleled accomplishments in the sector, as well as exemplary leadership and mentorship skills.
The Rising Stars initiative identifies municipal finance professionals under the age of 40 whose knowledge, collaborative spirit and creativity have enabled them to make an overwhelmingly positive contribution to the community. The celebration on November 15 will recognize the industry’s next generation of leaders while honoring those who paved the way.
“These honorees have positioned themselves as future — or, in some cases, current — industry leaders,” says Mike Scarchilli, Editor in Chief at The Bond Buyer. “They’ve driven the industry forward while navigating a transformed sector. These Rising Stars will undoubtedly inspire the generations that follow."
Nominees for both awards are sought across all areas and specialities of municipal finance. For the Rising Stars awards, honorees from previous classes are ineligible, but resubmissions of previous nominees who were not chosen and remain age-eligible are accepted. For the Hall of Fame, candidates need not be partially or completely retired, but they must have amassed a body of work extensive enough for a lifetime achievement honor. All submissions will be judged by a panel comprising The Bond Buyer’s editorial leadership as well as a diverse set of muni finance leaders.
Nominations for both honors close on Friday, August 12. The Bond Buyer's 2022 class of Rising Stars will be unveiled at the start of the Infrastructure conference.
