The Boone Area Chamber of Commerce invites you to the 10th Annual 4 Under 40 Awards Ceremony!
Join us as we celebrate a decade of this event at the Appalachian Theatre of the High Country on Wednesday, March 18 from 5:30-7:30 pm. This annual showcase of emerging leaders is presented by title sponsor Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
Come meet, mingle, and celebrate with 16 emerging High Country leaders honored across four categories:
- Business Owner
- Non-Profit Professional
- Education Professional
- Rising Star
Four finalists are recognized in each group and introduced to the audience, with one winner honored per category. In addition, the Respect Your Elder Award will be presented to an individual who displays a deep impact as an influencer, motivator, and mentor to our emerging leaders of tomorrow.
Your ticket includes heavy hors d'oeuvres and two complimentary beverages from the bar. This event serves as a great networking opportunity for young professionals in the area to interact with some of the High Country's experienced leaders in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
Doors open at 5:30 pm, and the awards presentation will start at 6:15 pm.
Award sponsors include Beech Mountain Resort, Carolina West Wireless, Kid Cove, and the Walker College of Business. Additional sponsorship provided by High Country Radio and the High Country Young Professionals.
Since the inaugural event ten years ago, each class of 4 Under 40 recipients has captured a moment in time, highlighting individuals early in their leadership journeys. Many have gone on to grow their businesses, take on new responsibilities, and deepen their involvement across the region. As we celebrate the 10th Annual 4 Under 40 Awards, we encourage you to take a moment and look back at where previous winners are today.
