Every September, the Traverse City Business News spotlights 40 local professionals under age 40 who excel professionally and in the community. This year marks the 13th anniversary of the annual 40Under40 list of influencers, and the fourth year Hagerty has been the signature sponsor. The winners were celebrated at a reception last night at Hagerty’s downtown Traverse City headquarters.

The 2019 class is comprised of 22 women, as well as 25 individuals who have never been recipients before. The class includes entrepreneurs, engineers, doctors, MBAs, CPAs, tech gurus and chefs. 

After receiving 100-plus nominations from the community, a panel of judges reviewed the submissions and chose the 40 influencers whose professional and community efforts during this past year had the most impact. The panel included K.K. Trucco, vice president of recruiting for Hagerty; Warren Call, CEO of Traverse CONNECT; Luke Haase, publisher of the TCBN; Lynda Wheatley, executive editor of the Northern Express; and Gayle Neu, contributing editor of the TCBN.

At last night's reception, winners were celebrated and received complimentary "swag bags" containing donated gifts from Chateau Chantal, Cherry Republic, Crystal Mountain Resort, Cultured Ferment, Fustini’s, Grand Traverse Resort & Casinos, Hagerty, Higher Grounds Coffee, Jimmy Johns, Mammoth Distilling, NoMi Sparkling Water, and Oryana.
