2013 40Under40 Announced

Aug. 27, 2013

Today the Traverse City Business News reveals its 8th annual listing of the region's 40 most influential people under age 40 for 2013. After hundreds of nominations were received, a selection committee whittled the list down to the final 40. The selection committee included former 40Under40 winners Derek Bailey and Norm Plumstead, Marguerite Cotto from NMC, and Laura Oblinger from the Traverse City Chamber. Winners will be honored at a special celebration tomorrow evening at Northwestern Michigan College's Dennos Museum.

You can read all about the 2013 TCBN NMC 40Under40 in the September issue of the TC Business News, on newsstands and in subscribers' mailboxes starting Friday.

Below is the list of winners. If you see any of them around town, give them a hearty congrats or a high five!
