40 Leaders Under Forty is an annual celebration of emerging leaders in Greater Peoria. Through nominations submitted by the community, the region's rising young stars are honored each year at a prestigious reception. Like so many other events in 2020, this year’s ceremony will take place virtually.

The 27th annual event will honor 40 remarkable individuals for their dedication to making Greater Peoria a better place to live, work and play. The program will begin promptly at 6:00pm and will last approximately one hour. Please join us in recognizing and congratulating the Class of 2020!
