Oakland County is now accepting applications for the Oakland Together 40 Under 40 Class of 2026. This annual program recognizes dynamic leaders younger than 40 who live or work in Oakland County – and who are making a meaningful impact through innovation, community service, and professional achievement.
“We’re proud to continue spotlighting the exceptional young leaders who help move Oakland County forward,” said Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter.
“Through Oakland Together 40 Under 40, we celebrate individuals who embody our vision of All Ways, Moving Forward and who are making a real difference in our communities.”
A selection committee composed of community members and county leadership will choose 40 individuals for the Class of 2026. The class will be announced publicly in April.
Those selected will be invited to participate in special events throughout the year, offering opportunities to connect, collaborate and engage with fellow leaders and county officials.
Applicants must self-nominate, live or work in Oakland County, and be at least 18 years old. Eligible applicants must be born after Dec. 31, 1985. Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. February 2.
Previous winners included public servants, educators, business owners, and community leaders.
