AAPC's 40 under 40 Awards program recognizes individuals under the age of 40 who are in the political consulting/public affairs profession and contribute to the advancement of the industry. Nominees must be headquartered in the United States and primarily work in the American political sphere. To be eligible you must be under the age of 40 through May 19, 2025. Nominees are not required to be AAPC members and there is no fee to submit an application.

The AAPC is looking for the top 40 professionals whose achievements in political consulting/public affairs deserve to be singled out for excellence early on in their careers and whose conduct is consistent with AAPC's professional code of ethics.

Honorees will be recognized as part of the 2025 Pollie Awards & Conference, May 19, 2025, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
