Twenty Under 40!

The 15th Annual Twenty under 40! Awards is produced by ystark!, a dept. of the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, and The Canton Repository.

Twenty under 40! awards recognize Stark County’s leaders under 40 who have demonstrated dynamic leadership and social responsibility. These individuals are committed to making a difference in our community and creating a lasting impact. They are the doers, dreamers, and difference-makers. The longevity of the TU40! program, now in its 15th year, is a testament of the passion, strength, and grit of the young professionals who choose to live, work, and stay in Stark.

Winners will be recognized in The Repository’s ABOUT magazine June 2022 issue.  We are thrilled to announce that the 2022 Twenty under 40! event will take place at Gervasi Vineyard in the open-air pavilion on Tuesday, June 21! Tickets are $65 for general seating and include (1) drink ticket and heavy hors d’oeuvres, or choose to purchase a Reserved Seating Table for $400 (includes 6 tickets). CLICK HERE or scroll down to register.
