Chamber honors 40 Under 40

0

The Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce celebrated the Island’s young professionals last week at the Harbor View Hotel for this year’s 40 Under 40.

The 40 Islanders were nominated by Chamber of Commerce member businesses.

“They are the future, and we want them to know that they are truly making an impact, not only on the economy, but also on the overall vitality of Martha’s Vineyard,” chamber executive director Carolina Cooney said following the event. “As ardent supporters of the business community, it’s of paramount importance to nurture and elevate these young business leaders. Working together and celebrating each other’s successes is what the chamber is all about.

“I’m delighted to congratulate our 40 winners on their impressive achievements,” Cooney continued. “Every day, they help make our beloved Island a better place to live, work, and raise a family simply by doing the incredible work they do day in and day out. They are truly movers and shakers in their industries.”

The chamber first launched 40 Under 40 in 2015 with the intent that it be held other year.
