Congratulations 

2018 Rising Stars Winners!


Ten Spokane-area businesspeople—five men and five women—have been named the Journal of Business’ 2018 Rising Stars.

Rising Stars are young professionals in the Inland Northwest who have emerged as leaders in their respective fields and potentially in the business community as a whole. The Journal received more than 130 nominations this year for the 2018 Rising Stars. Five judges evaluated this year’s slate of candidates and made recommendations.
The list of 10 is based on their selections.

The 10 Rising Stars will be recognized during an event at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13, at the McGinnity Room, at 116 W. Pacific.
