Black Leadership Award

Profiles in Leadership Journal 2025 Black Leadership Award

Issue will be printed: winners receive 2 magazines

For more than two decades Profiles in Leadership Journal has showcased and honored individuals who have blazed new trails, led the way, mentored others, advanced inclusion in the workplace and the community, and excelled in their chosen fields. In the upcoming 4th Quarter issue of the magazine, PLJ will recognize Black Leaders with our sixth annual Black Leadership Awards.

Profiles in Leadership Journal is proud to honor these individuals who contribute to the success of your organization. We invite you to join us in this endeavor by nominating one or more members of your team who, through their advocacy, perseverance, legacy, or professional achievements, have triumphed to become Black Leaders.

Your nomination of a Black Leader, or multiple Black Leaders, affords you an important opportunity to recognize and showcase the talents, ambition, and achievements of these exceptional people.

Who Are these Outstanding Individuals?

Nominated by employers or colleagues, Black Leaders are confident, determined, high-performing, purpose-driven professionals who create value for their coworkers, customers, community, and of course, the organizations where they contribute their talents.

Throughout its history, Profiles in Leadership Journal has recognized thousands of men and women from around the world who are making a difference. The profiles that will appear in this important edition will recognize and celebrate our sixth group of Black Leadership awardees, and enhance the reputations of the organizations that encourage, empower, and support these trailblazing individuals.
