“To ensure Arlington’s bright future, it’s our responsibility to cultivate the next generation of business and community leaders,” said Michael Jacobson, President and CEO of the Greater Arlington Chamber, “This program enables us to showcase these up-and-comers with everyone in greater Arlington.”
With the help of volunteer judges, the list of amazing nominees was narrowed down to only 40. Although this was a hard task, considering Arlington is filled with inspiring young leaders, we are pleased to congratulate our 2023 40 Under 40 recipients.
