ENR California & Northwest are pleased to announced this year's Top Young Professionals from Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington!
This annual awards program honors individuals under 40 years of age in each of ENR's 10 regions who have shown extraordinary leadership and service throughout their careers.
In the California and Northwest regions, entrants were judged by three primary criteria: industry experience and education; career and industry leadership; and community service and involvement.
We’d like to thank this year's judging panel for all their efforts in identifying the honorees:
  • Mannie Barnes, Guy F. Atkinson Construction
  • Michael Boomsma, Cordova Corp.
  • Wendy MacLeod, Turner Construction Co.
  • Eric Solem, Exxel Pacific

Winners from the 10 regions are automatically entered into ENR's National Top 20 Under 40 contest. Judging will begin later this fall.

Our 2022 class of Top Young Professionals (in alphabetical order by last name) are listed below. Please be sure to read more about these rising young leaders in the January issue of ENR California & Northwest. Congratulations!
