Washington Trust Bank and Cascade Business News are excited to celebrate the 18th Annual Accomplished Under 40, honoring young achievers living in Central Oregon.
We held an awards ceremony on October 2 at the Oxford Hotel in downtown Bend, with lots on mingling and a fun, quick awards celebration.
Past award recipients include many well-known community and business leaders, as well as those who tend to fly under the radar. Their common dominator has always been their commitment to community, although the way they choose to give their time is as diverse as the industries they hail from.
Please take the time to read this year’s recipient profiles here. You can also find the entire list of winners at here.
We received nearly 30 nominations this year — and all are worthy — but we have to limit the number of annual recipients. Community involvement weighs heavily with the selection committee, age can be a factor, and the decisions are not made easily. Some folks have been nominated several years before becoming a recipient.
Thank you to all the nominators for bringing to light these incredible young people.
Cheers to the class of 2024 and thank you for all you do for Central Oregon and beyond!
