Help recognize the next generation of sports field managers by nominating a Rising Star today.
SportsField Management magazine will once again profile the best up-and-coming young leaders in the sports field management industry for its Rising Star Awards.
Rising Star nominees must be under the age of 40 or, if over the age of 40, must have been new to the sports field management industry within the last 10 years. Candidates are evaluated based on professional accomplishments, leadership, community and industry involvement, philanthropic efforts and other exemplary qualities.
Questions about the program? Please email John Kmitta at jkmitta@epgacceleration.com and include “SportsField Management Rising Star” in the subject line.
The 2025 Rising Star Award winners were CJ Buck, Justin Danelutt, Marcus Elswick, Mira Emma, and Gage Knudson. Read about the 2025 winners in the October 2025 issue.
