Progressive Railroading's recently announced Rising Stars will be recognized with a dinner July 19 at the Grand Historic Venue in Baltimore, Maryland, and you are invited to have dinner with the destined-for-greatness honorees. You can purchase single tickets or tables of 10. For more information about the dinner and how to purchase tickets to the event, visit the Rising Stars website.

Progressive Railroading defines a Rising Star as someone under the age of 40 who has made, or is making, a positive impact on his or her company, organization, department or team, and is viewed by others – peers, colleagues, supervisors, clients or associates – as an up-and-coming leader in the rail industry.

The Rising Stars recognition dinner will be held in conjunction with the American Association of Railroad Superintendents' 2015 Annual Meeting.

This year's 20 honorees were chosen based on their contributions to the railroad industry, career achievements, demonstrated leadership, professional association activity or community involvement. Their stories will be profiled on ProgressiveRailroading.com this summer, and published in the magazine's September issue.
