Brittany Washington was recently honored as a 40 Under Forty Leadership at East Carolina University, according to a press release.
The committee, comprised of alumni, staff and faculty, worked diligently to complete a competitive selection process of ECUâs 40 Under Forty Leadership Award recipients. Consideration for this award is a tribute to each nomineeâs ability to apply their ECU education in the following categories: Research and Education, Health and Wellness, Public Service, Arts and Humanities, and Business. This yearâs selection process was extremely competitive with more than 320 nominations from accomplished and committed leaders, making the committeeâs decision extremely challenging.
