“Top Forty Under 40” Includes Six ODU Alumni

Six Old Dominion graduates were recognized last fall when the Hampton Roads business journal Inside Business published its annual “Top Forty Under 40” list, honoring, as editor Carol Lichti explained, “40 businesspeople under the age of 40 who have the same quality of commitment to their careers as they do to serving their community.”

This marks the 10th year that Inside Business has published the “Top Forty” list. In a letter introducing the profiles of the winners, Lichti thanked the contest judges and “the honorees who work day in and day out to help the economy of Hampton Roads as successful businesspeople and also find time to be involved in giving back to their community, making this a better place for all of us.”
