Do You Have Your Rising Stars Dinner Tickets? The Celebration is Less Than Two Weeks Away and Nearly Sold Out! The stars will be out July 24 — and you can join them — at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh where Progressive Railroading's 20 Rising Stars honorees will be honored with a special dinner. Individual tickets and tables of 10 are now available. Additional details on dinner and purchasing tickets to the event are available on the Rising Stars website. According to Progressive Railroading, a Rising Star is 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. 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. Buy your tickets today. The celebration is July 24 — and that's less than two weeks away.
