This special feature in The College Store magazine is part of an effort by NACS to promote and acknowledge upcoming and innovative leaders in the college store industry.

Are you under age 40 (cutoff date is June 16, 2008) and committed to the college store industry as a career? Do you think you’ve got what it takes to successfully help lead your store into the future of collegiate retailing? Are you so busy positioning your business to take full advantage of new opportunities and initiatives that you’re not even sure you have the time to reply? Then you’re exactly the kind of campus leader from whom we’d like to hear!

The College Store magazine last featured up-and-coming and emerging collegiate retailing leaders in its September/October 2003 issue; we think it’s time to see what inspiring, innovative initiatives new industry leaders have been undertaking since then. Read the 2003 article here (within the password-protected portion of the NACS web site).
