40 Under 40 gets major face-lift

YOUNGSTOWN

After seven years of honoring the Valley’s young professionals, the 40 Under 40 Awards program is undergoing a face-lift.

The event will be Feb. 3 at Stambaugh Auditorium, 1000 Fifth Ave., instead of in November.

The programming has also undergone an update in order to celebrate the honorees and strengthen the relationships developed over the course of the nominating process.

“We are focusing much more on creating strong networking opportunities through a post-event reception and continuing to foster those connections throughout the year with other opportunities,” said Paul Hagman, chairman for this year’s event.

This year’s event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour; the program begins at 6:30 p.m.

To order ticket for the 2011 40 Under 40 Awards, call Stambaugh Auditorium at 330-259-0555. To order tickets online, visit www.stambaughauditorium.com.
