2008 Winners
The Network Journal's 40 Under Forty
Achievement Awards
40 DYNAMIC ACHEIVERS
Celebrating those who are reaching for higher goals
Years from now, the 2008 class of TNJ’s “40 Under Forty Dynamic Achievers” will remember their group as the one that coincided with America’s coming to grips with the fact that leadership is neither the preserve of a single race or of a single gender. For 11 consecutive years, TNJ has put forth 40 Black men and women, ranging in age from 20 to 39, who are proof of that fact. All of these young adults have been singled out for recognition of their remarkable achievements in their chosen careers through a commitment to excellence, their dedication to the upliftment of their community and their unstinting support of those less fortunate or less accomplished than themselves. Equally important, they understand the need to reach a place of balance in their lives, where family, friends and “God” — as each defines “God” to be — are as important as their careers and community service. We celebrate them all with pride.
