RV PRO is thrilled to present the chosen honorees for its fifth annual 40 Under 40 recognition.
Each year, the program spotlights 40 professionals from across the RV industry as some of the brightest leaders under 40 years old. Honorees were nominated by their peers for above-and-beyond determination, leadership and success in their respective markets.
The RV PRO team selects winners based on contributions to their workplace, industry tenure, involvement in their communities and peer relationships. Considerations were given to all market segments internationally, including dealerships, OEMs, suppliers, distributors, rep groups, associations, business services and more.
“We had more than 130 nominations this year. With so many talented individuals in the industry, narrowing down the list is always difficult. We’re very impressed with this year’s honorees and are thrilled to say congratulations to the 2024 class of RV PRO’s 40 Under 40,” said Jennifer King, RV PRO executive editor. “We can’t wait to tell our readers more about these outstanding individuals in our November issue!”
