It was entirely appropriate for SFBW to hold its 8th Annual Up & Comer Awards at the NW Club at Inter Miami Stadium—there was a lot of cheering going on, especially when the surprise host, DJ and radio personality Drew Heyman, bounded up on stage to regale the audience.
This annual event stands as a tribute to the drive and ambition of rising executives throughout South Florida. Presenting sponsor JPMorgan Private Bank partnered with SFBW to help celebrate the top achievers under the age of 40.
These awards honor their achievements in the workplace and their charitable and civic contributions. Many of our honorees have already made their mark in senior-level positions—or are on the fast track to do so.
What was the process that culminated in this festive evening? The professionals recognized were nominated by members of the community. We specifically asked to learn about those who have demonstrated an overall commitment to South Florida. We received hundreds of nominations through our website, sfbwmag.com, with the results determined by the magazine’s senior leadership.
