Lauren Bonneau//April 6, 2021//

In poring over the hundreds upon hundreds of pieces of material submitted for the Accomplished Under 40 nominees, which included applications, resumes, letters of recommendation and other background, I was overwhelmed by the amount of sheer talent I saw in these professionals across the state. And I was especially thankful to have an esteemed judging panel of past winners to help score the many qualified candidates.
The Accomplished Under 40 program’s annual honorees are first nominated by the Idaho business community at large, and then the nominees themselves must submit an application for consideration. Based on a uniform scoring system, the judging panel then whittles down the list of applicants to 40 finalists, taking into account the categories of professional achievement, leadership, mentorship and community service.

“This generation of professionals exemplifies a passion to strive for excellence that is impressive, and we are honored to recognize these 40 individuals who represent the future leaders of Idaho,” said Cindy Suffa, publisher of Idaho Business Review.
This year’s awards ceremony to honor these 40 accomplished individuals will be held virtually at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 13. The individuals will be featured in a magazine published by the Idaho Business Review on July 16.
