Woodworking Network celebrates its seventh 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.
"We are truly excited about this year’s honorees for the 40 Under 40 distinction. 2022 has yielded some of the very best yet. This year’s team of honorees will join 282 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. "We invite the entire industry to join us in celebrating some of the best and brightest contributors to wood products manufacturing in North America. Being selected as a 40 Under 40 honoree carries far more than the distinction of public industry recognition. It is the hallmark of excellence and stands as a living testimonial to the health and well-being of our vibrant industry."
He added, "It is reassuring to see so many bright, industrious individuals being placed into nomination by their associates. In addition to the recognition recently at the Leadership Reception in Atlanta, 2022 honorees received free admission to the Executive Briefing Conference, at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado in September. And all alumni will receive a 40 percent discount to any WWN event in recognition of their outstanding achievements and contributions to our industry.”
