Celebrate the Forty Under 40 Honorees of 2022

Each spring, we take time to highlight and honor the Forty Under 40 movers and shakers of the Hudson Valley. Bestowed annually to forty people under the age of 40 who have shown a strong commitment to the Hudson Valley, the Mover & Shaker Awards honor individuals making a difference in their communities and going above and beyond in their professions. 
 
The Forty Under 40 selection committee reviews nominations from the community and scores each nomination independently of each other and the Chamber, with the scores then tallied to determine the top 40. Chosen from a pool of about 75 nominations, the honorees represent a wide range of professions, industries, and backgrounds. It is wonderful to see such a diverse group succeeding and giving back, as well as making our community stronger.
 
The Hudson Valley’s Top Forty Under 40 Mover & Shaker Awards will once again take place at the Changepoint Theater in Poughkeepsie, on Thursday, April 14. This annual signature event would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors, including our Event Sponsors N&S Supply and Rhinebeck Bank. See DCRCOC.org/40under40 for the list of names as they are released starting March 1, ticket information, and a full list of our sponsors.
 
This group of young professionals are such an inspiration and represent our Hudson Valley leaders of the future. I hope you will join us on April 14 to show support and let them know how proud the community is of them for Thinking Local First.
