With applications open until May 5, 2023, the Rising Stars program recognizes the muni finance leaders of tomorrow, while the Hall of Fame initiative celebrates individuals whose careers have left an indelible mark.
NEW YORK, March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Bond Buyer, Arizent's essential resource for the municipal finance industry, has opened nominations for its second Hall of Fame and eighth Rising Stars programs. New this year, The Hall of Fame will create a "legacy wing" for posthumous honorees who will be honored collectively during the ceremony with a special video tribute, alongside the speeches by the living honorees.
"These Hall Of Fame and Rising Stars programs shine a light on outstanding municipal finance leadership by honoring the past and recognizing the future," says Mike Scarchilli, Editor in Chief of The Bond Buyer. "Whether they've already built their legacies or they're still in the process, these are individuals whose character and innovative spirit will inspire others in the sector."
Candidates are eligible across all areas of specialities of the municipal finance community. Nominees do not need to be partially or completely retired to qualify, but must have been involved in extensive, influential work for a lifetime achievement honor.
Concurrently, the Rising Stars program recognizes municipal finance professionals under the age of 40 who have made positive contributions for their community while demonstrating exceptional leadership, excellent collaboration skills, innovation and creativity in their roles. Honorees from previous years are ineligible, but resubmissions of previous candidates who were not chosen and remain age-eligible will be accepted.
All applications will be judged by a panel with The Bond Buyer's editorial leadership and a diverse group of municipal finance leaders. Nominations will close on May 5th, 2023. The Hall of Fame honorees will be announced on the Bond Buyer website during mid-July; the Rising Stars class will be published during early August. Both groups will be honored at The Bond Buyer INFRASTRUCTURE event on September 12-13th at The Palmer House in Chicago, IL.
