Forty Under 40 Network
Winners of the Business Journal's Forty Under 40 awards are selected from dozens of nominees and represent honorees not previously chosen in past years.
Journal editorial staff selected the winners (see the list below) on the basis of their leadership in companies and organizations across the North Bay.
Business leaders tell us frequently that supporting outstanding young people is critical not just to the health of our companies, but to our economy and community.
Why are the Forty Under 40 awards so important for local business?
Winners of these awards reflect an inspiring and substantial pool of young talent across the North Bay. It is our privilege to honor them and shine a light on them for the whole community to see.
When the Business Journal launched this project in 2007, many told us we would never find 40 business leaders younger than 40. We thought otherwise. Indeed, we have found more than 200. Their achievements represent both the current dynamism of the North Bay and the promise of the economy in the future.
