They dare to dream then turn dreams into action. Northern Ontario Business honoured an accomplished and influential group of winners Nov. 14 at the Caruso Club, as the long-awaited 40 Under Forty Award recipients were announced.
The awards highlight the outstanding achievements of 40 of Greater Sudbury’s exceptional young entrepreneurs, executives and professionals.
“It’s hard not to be impressed by the accomplishments of these remarkable young leaders,” Abbas Homayed, Vice President and Publisher of NOB said.
“The 2019 award recipients inspire us to be optimistic for the future. These individuals have no shortage of vision, talent and drive and perhaps most important, they’ve made a conscious choice to build their careers and their lives in our city, sending a message that our community is rich in opportunity.”
The event was hosted by Homayed and Julianne Joki, Executive Programs Coordinator.
Winners were selected by a panel for their personal success, leadership and commitment to community. Profiles of the 40 honourees can be found at www.40underForty.ca.
