Congratulations to our
Class of 2009 Leaders Under 40
Leadership is not a title or a status—it's a way of life. Individuals in our region make a difference, every day. This recognition acknowledges their valuable contributions, not only to their company or organization—but the Quad City region as well. Recipients are nominated and the nomination process is designed to recognize individuals who exceed the expectations of their peers and the community.
Our annual recognition event brings these leaders together, as well as other community members, ultimately building on the strong community spirit of like-minded individuals here in our region.
