To qualify for the list, which is not comprehensive, nominees must serve in a senior leadership role or board position with a nonprofit and be in the profession for a minimum of five years, as well as demonstrate significant impact in their organization. Their profiles were written from the nomination materials submitted. Some of the profiles in this feature were written with the assistance of generative AI based on provided information. Our editorial team carefully reviewed and edited the AI-generated text to ensure it aligns with our standards for accuracy. Honorees can appear in up to two Notable features per calendar year.
