For the eighth year, 40 of our region’s most dynamic young leaders have been honored by the Greater Atlantic City Jaycees and Atlantic City Weekly. Some of them are community leaders and volunteers, some are entrepreneurial, others are extraordinary talents whom inspire many. One thing they all have in common is that people from around the region nominated them to be one of this year’s Top 40 Under 40. Once again, we are excited to present this year’s honorees inside our annual issue. Our community is a richer one to live in thanks to them.
The Top 40 Under 40 Review Committee collaborated to review all nominations, select the 40 honorees and compile this feature while planning a special event to honor the 40 later this month at the MIXX nightclub at the Borgata.
The committee consisted of staffers of Atlantic City Weekly and members of the Greater Atlantic City Jaycees – Junior Chamber of Commerce. From the Jaycees: Harvey Cocozza, Katie Strickland and Ryane Watkins.
From Atlantic City Weekly (Review Publishing): Bill Beck, Jeff Schwachter and Lew Steiner. The entire AC Weekly editorial department, including editorial interns Daniel Aupperle, Samantha McCorry and Julie Pipitone, also contributed to this project.
