This initiative is designed to amplify voices, build connections, and showcase the impact of local changemakers across various industries - including business, technology, arts, education, and social impact. Each featured individual is nominated by the community and selected for their outstanding contributions and achievements.
We’ll share their journeys, challenges, and successes through written interviews and feature articles to inspire and connect our growing network of professionals, entrepreneurs, and change agents. Our spotlights will be featured on the RWU website, social media platforms, and newsletters, ensuring these incredible stories reach and uplift the entire RDU community.
Know someone who deserves recognition?
Nominate them today and help us shine a light on those making an impact!
