ALEXANDRIA, VA – In an email blast this morning, the Chamber ALX announced its 2023 list of 40 Under 40 honorees. “Each honoree was selected for their professional accomplishments, scholastic achievement, community impact, and personal story,” says the notice.

The 40 Under 40 program was established in 2016 to recognize those age 40 and under engaged in a variety of fields including business, technology, nonprofit management, civic life, public service, education, and the arts, who are shaping Alexandria for the future.

The Chamber is also recognizing Alexandria’s youth with the selection of two additional student honorees.

There will be a celebration on July 20 where the group will be individually honored.  For further information and photos of all the honorees, pick up a copy on July 3 of the July 2023 edition of The Zebra Press, where the 40 under 40 will be celebrated on the cover and inside (that issue will also be available online).
