2021 40 Under Forty Award Honorees
Meet the 2021 40 Under Forty Honorees
Every year for the last 25 years, Hartford Business Journal, with the help of our independent judges, has selected 40 of the top up-and-coming young professionals who are leading their respective organizations.
This year we received 163 nominations. Narrowing down the list to 40 deserving winners was a difficult task. More importantly, our winners provide evidence that our region has a vast young talent pool.
Our 2021 winners hail from the private, public and nonprofit sectors and from organizations both small and large.
We’d like to thank this year’s judges for helping choose our winners. They include:
Mae Maloney, Senior Program Director, Leadership Greater Hartford
Julianna Cruz, Senior Public Relations Specialist, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare
Kim Bishop, Executive Director of Talent Attraction & Retention, MetroHartford Alliance
Gail Lebert, Director of Partnership Development, Klingberg Family Centers
Meg Warren, Director, Strategic Initiatives, Office of the Dean Instructor, MBA Program UConn School of Business
We will be celebrating our annual 40 Under Forty event Sept. 16 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. Tickets are now on sale.
If you think you have what it takes to be part of a future 40 Under Forty class, we ask that you submit a nomination next year. This award is only as strong as the class of individuals who are nominated for it.
