40 Leaders Under Forty

Congratulations to the winners of InterBusiness Issues’ 16th annual 40 Leaders Under Forty.

Progress in a community is driven by the strong leadership of individuals—it is the foundation upon which we build. Every November, InterBusiness Issues dedicates an entire issue to the young leaders in central Illinois—our most outstanding 40 Leaders Under Forty.
