Celebrating the rising leaders, entrepreneurs, influencers, creators, and contributors that are shaping our community and paving the way for what comes next.
40 Under 40 Awards Breakfast
Friday, December 8, 2023 • 8:30am-10:30am
JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa
There's nothing quite like celebrating and honoring the future and the optimism around the leaders of tomorrow.
Young leaders are a vital asset to our region and it is important to recognize and acknowledge those who have made their mark while shaping our community's future.
The 40 Under 40 Awards is focused on leadership as well as on community involvement and the contributions made to moving our community forward. These contributors to the community are selected because of their body of work as selfless stewards and promoters of generosity, of good, and of progress.
This year's theme is INSPIRATION and it will be woven in many different aspects of the event. From the design of the staging and materials, to the message from the Keynote Speaker...everything will communicate in this common and unifying theme. Details around pricing and sponsorship opportunities will be made available soon!
PRICING:
$125/per person • $1,250/per table of 10
We're working very hard to bring you a speaker worthy of our audience. And although we're not ready to reveal who our speaker will be just yet, please stay tuned.
CONGRATULATIONS!
