40 Under 40
Ingraham's Magazine
Over the comparatively short working careers of this year’s 40 Under Forty, the nation has seen its share of threats: mass terrorism, financial calamity, wholesale destruction of personal wealth and entire business sectors. In each case, we’ve risen from the canvas to start swinging back. Without exception, we returned to previous heights and set new standards.
Much of that was inspired by leadership, at local, state and federal levels.

In each case, we’ve risen from the canvas to start swinging back. Without exception, we returned to previous heights and set new standards.
Much of that was inspired by leadership, at local, state and federal levels. In this era, however, America faces a threat unlike any it has seen since the Great Depression, perhaps worse than
any in its existence. For in this age, the threat is both to public health as well as financial status. We’re a country sorely short of leadership at all levels. Perhaps that’s why we put so much faith
in our 40 Under Forty past and current honorees, promising young executives who have shown an oversized capacity to lead. As the nation looks to the mighty challenge of rebuilding its economy, we’ll all be counting on the contributions and leadership of those who are best positioned to elevate their businesses, their colleagues, their civic organizations and their communities. -
