It’s 30 Under 40! Congratulations to all the 2024 recipients — and if you entered this year and didn’t make the list, please try again next year. Each year we have more entries, and it gets harder to whittle it down to 30. Don’t see this as a rejection but more like being put on a waitlist. For those on the 2024 list, I encourage you to take full advantage of this honor by posting about it and sharing it with your customers, friends and the industry. Part of the reason we do this program is to help recruit a new generation of potential pros — and showing off this accolade is one way we can demonstrate how awesome it is to work in the pool industry!
The Pool | Spa | Patio Expo is coming up in Dallas, Nov. 11-14. If you’ll be there, we have a long list of events we’re involved with. We’re hosting a live edition of our sales training, so come check out the class in person. We’re also having a panel for women in the industry at the show’s Blossom and Lead stage: SpaRetailer/PoolPro Power Women: Overcoming Career Obstacles and Challenges. Finally, come see us at booth #1920, Heritage Pool Pro Appreciation Day and the Pool Nation Awards and after-party.
I’m tired from just listing all that, but every year we try to find new ways to serve our readers, and hopefully, you will find one of these programs useful. That’s a wrap for our last issue of 2024. Thanks for your support this year.
Best,
Megan Kendrick, publisher, CPO
