Woodworking Network celebrates its eighth annual awarding of the Wood Industry 40 Under 40, recognizing the next generation of industry professionals who are making an impact on wood products manufacturing in North America.
Honorees were recognized at a reception in Las Vegas during the AWFS Fair, as well as at the EBC in September. “We would like the entire industry to join us in celebration of the youngest, best, and brightest contributors to wood products manufacturing in North America. This year’s team of honorees join more than 280 alumni who have been recognized with this distinction in the past,” said Tim Fixmer, president and CEO of CCI Media, the parent of Woodworking Network.
“Being chosen as a 40 Under 40 Honoree carries far more than the distinction of industry recognition,” added Fixmer. “The lifelong networking opportunities to rub shoulders and exchange ideas with other honorees is a significant benefit to these great performers.” All 40 Under 40 alumni also receive a 40 percent discount to each annual Executive Briefing Conference in recognition of their outstanding achievements.
