JCI Santa Clarita is teaming up with The Magazine of Santa Clarita to present the 6th Annual 40 Under Forty Awards. This annual event honors 40 young professionals in the Santa Clarita and surrounding cities that are leaders and inspirations to their community and business.
Tiffany Grummer and Shauna Criner are this year’s co-chairs and they are both so excited to be part of this amazing event!
They want to give a special thank you to this year’s wonderful sponsors including: Title Sponsor SCV Chamber of Commerce, Gold Sponsor Bay Equity Home Loans, Silver Sponsor All American Bail Bonds, Bronze Sponsor Union Bank, Media Sponsor The Magazine of Santa Clarita, Mixer Food Sponsor Child and Family Center Young Leadership Core and Photography Sponsor SchlickArt.
We would also like to thank our selection panel who will be choosing the 40 honorees. Linda Hafizi – The Magazine of Santa Clarita, Terri Crain – SCV Chamber of Commerce, Kathy Norris- VIA, Lois Bauccio- Child and Family Center, Neil Fitzgerald – JCI Santa Clarita.
We are excited to announce that we received 70 nominations this year! To honor the nominees, The Magazine of Santa Clarita and JCI Santa Clarita will be holding a special Nominee Mixer at Wolf Creek Brewery, on Thursday October 9 in conjunction with the Child and Family Center Young Leadership Core. The mixer gives nominees an opportunity to mix with business and community leaders as well as provides a great networking opportunity. This event is free to attend and food and drinks will be provided. All we ask is that each guest bring an unwrapped toy that the Jaycees will use for their Annual Santa’s Helpers Event which gives Christmas to families in the community who otherwise may not have had one.
Once the Selection Committee chooses the 40 honorees they will be recognized at a special gala event. This year’s 40 Under Forty Awards Gala and Dinner will be held on Thursday, November 13 at the beautiful Robinson Ranch Country Club. This event is for the honorees and their friends and family to celebrate their success. We are delighted that KTLA Morning News co-anchor, Chris Schauble, will be our Master of Ceremonies.
Please congratulate these nominees as you see them around town. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Mixer on October 9 and at the Awards Gala on November 13.
