Every year, NKBA selects 30 exceptional young professionals from across the kitchen and bath industry to join its prestigious Thirty Under 30 program. Nominees for the program were evaluated on their professional or educational achievements, commitment to excellence in the K&B industry and leadership in their organizations.
“We are very happy to announce our newest class of rising young professionals,” said Bill Darcy, Global President & CEO, NKBA | KBIS. “These talented young individuals will grow into the future leaders of our industry and we hope this honor helps them in their continuing professional development.”
The Thirty Under 30 class are invited to attend KBIS 2024, where they will be introduced on the NEXTStage and meet with industry leaders and luminaries. They will also choose the annual 30s Choice Awards, which spotlight the “Best of” products and innovations in several categories that are announced during KBIS at the NEXTStage on Thursday, February 29, 2024.
