McKnight’s 5th Annual Pinnacle Awards are here! This distinguished program celebrates industry veterans who continue to raise the bar, lead transformative change, mentor the next generations, and serve as an enduring source of inspiration.

Eligible nominees must have at least 20 years of experience in the field and a proven record of ongoing impact and achievement. Whether it’s a colleague, mentor, boss, friend or yourself, we encourage you to nominate someone whose leadership and legacy deserve recognition through a Pinnacle Award, one of McKnight’s most prestigious honors.
