As a supporter of youth in the steel industry, we would welcome your nominations for the SMU NexGen Leadership Award – sponsored by the Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA).
This is a great opportunity to shine the light on the hard work of the talented individuals (age 35 and younger) in your organization and celebrate it with the greater steel industry.
The winner will get: a mentorship day with Mark Millett, President and Chief Executive Officer, Steel Dynamics; a free place at one of the SMU Steel Workshops; and free admission to the next SMU Steel Summit.
Nominating is easy. Simply complete a Word document defining what distinguishes the nominee as a NextGen leader and upload it here.
Perks for nominees include:
• Exclusive entry to a private reception at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, following the Steel Summit networking reception. Joining the nominees will be executives from Steel Market Update, CRU and SMA.
• A 50 percent discount off the 2019 SMU Steel Summit registration price.
• For nominees selected to be on the “short-list” (3-5 finalists only): complimentary access to the 2019 SMU Steel Summit, including flights and accommodations (not to exceed $1,000 per person). Short listed nominees will be notified by Aug. 1, 2019.
Give your staff the recognition they deserve and nominate now.
