The 40 Under 40 honoree list has become a who's who of industry managers, entrepreneurs and innovators that will lead this industry for the next 20 years,” said James Hartford, CEO of The SportsOneSource Group. “The 160 honorees over the first four years have developed a common kinship and are part of something very special. It amazes me each year the level of talent and energy reflected in the list of nominees. We expect that this year will bring more of the same.”
Each year, SGB honors 40 industry leaders under the age of 40. The honorees are nominated every spring by their customers, clients, vendors, peers, staff, co-workers and bosses. Hundreds of nominations are pared down by a panel of industry executives, past SGB 40 Under 40 honorees and SportsOneSource editors and analysts. The honorees are featured in SGB magazine and toasted at a weekend event in June 2012.
