Through the Trenchless Rising Stars program, NASTT is looking to discover early career professionals who are already making impressive strides in the trenchless industry and have great potential to impact the future of the profession. The Trenchless Rising Stars program works with members to identify, engage and promote young professionals whose record reflects ongoing and exceptional growth in their contributions to the profession and increasing levels of leadership, responsibility and sphere of impact. These early career professionals have a track record that reflects a strong career trajectory and the potential to reach the highest levels of achievement in the profession.
