Now Accepting
Class of 2009 nominations!
The search for the next class of 40
accomplished and influential young leaders in the Valley is now
on, as the Phoenix Business Journal is accepting nominations for
our ninth annual Forty-Under-40 Awards.
We need your help in reaching the
people who have proven to be exceptional performers in their
industry and community, and also are under the age of 40.
These are people who make character,
achievement and involvement the prevailing themes in their careers
and lives. Do you know people who fit that description? If so,
encourage them to apply. Or you could nominate them yourself. If
that's you, don't be shy.
They will be featured in a Business Journal special publication
and reception in April.
For more information on the program and nomination process, click
FortyUnder40.org.
