In conjunction with the Young Fastener Professionals association, FIC will again this year highlight 30, young industry professionals who are really making a difference in the industry. These individuals should be natural-born leaders who are driven, motivated and passionate about their jobs and the future of this industry. Applicants can range in departments, levels of experience and geographic location. Applicants can be nominated by either a colleague or themselves by completing the nomination form. The winners will be recognized at the National Fastener Industrial & Mill Supply Expo in Las Vegas, October 21, 2015.

A committee of five people will choose the
30 Under 30. The
committee will be comprised of members of the Fastener Industry
Coalition (FIC) and the Young Fastener Professionals (YFP).
Criteria used to choose the 30 will include
information submitted on the application forms.
Because we are not using measurable indicators such as
GPA or things used by scholarship committees, the decisions will
be largely subjective.
For this reason, we are electing to have five committee
members, or five different points of view.
Although there are no measurable
indicators, some of the things we would ask the committee
members to consider would include the following:
- Length of time at their current
position
- Position within their
organization (president or other officer, national account
manager, regional account manager, lead programmer, or any other
designation that indicates they have exceptional
responsibilities at their company)
- Any measurable progress noted
(cost saving initiatives, sales increases, demonstrable
efficiency increases, etc.) in their statement/essay.
- Bio Information – whether this is
a personal application submitted or an application submitted by
a sponsor, this portion will weigh heaviest on determining who
will be named in the 30
With five committee members, there will be
no ties. Each member
of the committee will see each application for review.
Committee members who work with any of the nominees will
not be allowed to vote on those applicants unless there is a 2-2
tie from the other committee members.
At this time a dictated point system will not be put
into place as it is not fair to set constraining parameters on
such a new program.
After this first time of selecting 30 under 30, the application
will be reviewed by the committee to determine if changes need
to be made.
This program is designed to recognize and
encourage the young employees of our industry to make the
fastener industry a long term commitment because they can be
part of a better future for the industry.
