The Titan 100 is a national program in 8 markets across the country that recognizes the top 100 CEOs and C-level executives in a region. Representing both the private and public sector, these Titans of Industry demonstrate exceptional leadership, vision, passion, and influence in their field. The Titan 100 are recognized at an annual awards event, published in the Titan 100 book, and given the opportunity to build relationships with their fellow Titans by connecting multiple times throughout the year.
For second-year recognition, Titans are required to reapply for the program, utilizing a distinct nomination form. Their submissions undergo evaluation by a separate independent selection committee, intensifying the competition. Second-year Titan 100 honorees enjoy equivalent benefits to those of their inaugural year, yet they are additionally distinguished with second-year tags in both print and online acknowledgments. Their connections within the Titan 100 community strengthen, fostering deeper relationships, and they persist in reaping the rewards of their active engagement. Individuals who do not make it back or do not re-apply their second year will be invited to participate in the Titan 100 alumni program.
After two years of being recognized as a Titan 100, honorees are extended an invitation to apply for induction into the Titan 100 Hall of Fame. This esteemed accolade is typically bestowed upon ten Titan 100 honorees who have exemplified outstanding leadership, vision, and passion, establishing themselves as integral pillars of the community. The evaluation process encompasses both a comprehensive written application and on-camera interviews before a live judging panel, with questions not disclosed in advance. Hall of Fame inductees receive distinctive recognition, including a moment on the awards ceremony stage and the presentation of the coveted metal Titan helmet. Attaining the Hall of Fame status represents the zenith of achievement, commemorating the enduring legacy of the Titan. Individuals who fall short of Hall of Fame induction are extended an invitation to join the Titan 100 alumni program, offering them the opportunity to reapply for consideration up to two additional times.
Once a Titan, always a Titan! The Titan Alumni Program actively nurtures and enriches a dynamic and deeply engaged community of Titans, both at the local and national levels. Alumni are encouraged to take part in Titan peer groups and contribute their expertise by serving on nomination or judging committees. They play a pivotal role in the continually expanding Titan community, deriving value from fostering enduring connections with past, present, and future Titans.
