The Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Arlington Today, is thrilled to announce our inaugural class of 40 Under 40 recipients.

“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 new program enables us to showcase these up-and-comers with everyone in greater Arlington.”

With the help of volunteer judges, we were able to narrow down all the amazing nominees to only 40. Although this was a hard task considering Arlington is filled with inspiring young leaders, we are pleased to congratulate our 2022 40 Under 40 recipients.
