This year marks Woodworking Network’s fourth annual awarding of the 40 Under 40, which celebrates industry professionals who are making an impact at their jobs, in the community, and on the North American wood products manufacturing industry. Through innovation, motivation or inspiration, honorees are contributing in the areas of productivity, profitability, social good (locally or globally), ingenuity, innovation, peer inspiration, product development, organizational leadership or another facet.
Entries were solicited in print, email and online at WoodworkingNetwork.com, with more than 140 nominations submitted in 2019. The candidates were judged by a team of editors, and the votes tallied.
See who’s in this year’s class.
In addition to recognition at a special Leadership Reception, honorees will also be profiled in articles online and in the October Leadership issue of FDMC. A special LinkedIn group, Wood Industry 40 Under 40, has also been set up for current honorees and all alumni to network.
