Leadership... In The Next 40
In this issue of InterBusiness Issues we publish our annual list of Peoria’s 40 Leaders Under Forty—our ninth year of honoring outstanding young area professionals. As I considered the list, I was struck by an observation: for this group of leaders, history—the personal kind, anyway—begins, at most, 40 years ago.
