Nominations are now open for Crain’s Cleveland Business 2023 Twenty in their 20s.

While their names might not be top of mind and they likely haven’t made their first million yet, there’s no denying these young professionals are making a mark on Northeast Ohio. We are welcoming nominations to help us determine those recognized.
