*In an effort to facilitate a more inclusive recognition of industry leaders and ensure that the contributions of both public and private sector individuals are recognized, we strongly encouraged Private Sector nominations for the 2024 Woman of the Year award and Public Sector nominations for 2024 Honorable Ray LaHood award. In 2025, we plan to solicit Public Sector nominations for Woman of the Year and Private Sector nominations for the Honorable Ray LaHood award.
