SpineLine’s 20 Under 40: Nominations Now Open for the 2026 Class

For the ninth year, SpineLine is proud to recognize emerging leaders through its 20 Under 40 program. The initiative was designed to spotlight talented early-career professionals who are already shaping the future of spine care.

Since its launch, 20 Under 40 has become more than a CV line item. Past recipients have gone on to serve in leadership roles across NASS committees, editorial boards, and the NASS Board of Directors. For many, being named to their class was an inflection point that led to greater visibility, broader engagement with the Society, and a clearer trajectory into national leadership.
