Forty Under 40
The Forty Under 40 awards recognize 40 leaders under the age of 40 who have made a significant impact in their business and community early in their careers. Honorees are chosen by a panel of past recipients who weigh equally business success and civic/philanthropic activities.
The event also celebrates one previous Forty Under 40 recipient, or alumnus, for his or her continued professional success and impact on the community.
