Event Snapshot
Come join WBJ for this celebration of the rising young leaders from throughout Central Massachusetts’ business community!
WBJ’s Annual Forty Under 40 Awards is a celebration of the rising young leaders from throughout Central Massachusetts’ business community.
This special program recognizes outstanding young leaders who are shaking up the Central Mass business community and leading us into the future. They come from a variety of industries and may be climbing the corporate ladder or charting their own courses as entrepreneurs.
These individuals will be part of a select class of upcoming business leaders who share a commitment to business success and personal growth, along with a passion to help strengthen the communities that they live and work in. They will join the ranks of the 900+ business leaders in the Central Mass/MetroWest region that have earned this title since WBJ launched the annual program in 2000.
2026 honorees will be profiled in our August 24, 2026 edition.
