The Long Beach Post - News, Life, Business, Sports

40 Under 40 Nominations

If there is a cohesive belief that runs through all those that contribute to the Long Beach Post, it is the mere fact that in order to build a distinct, dynamic community, we must recognize those who contribute to its betterment.

The power of recognition cannot always be relegated to the immediate, but must dig deeper in order to find the voices outside those continuously recognized. The voices that are perhaps not quite heard, the faces who are perhaps not much seen, and the hands that are perhaps not quite shaken enough. Given this sentiment, we are proud to announce our inaugural series of events, Long Beach Post Presents -- and we are asking you, our readers, to help us find those in Long Beach that are making a difference.

Our second annual 40 Under 40 celebration will feature a lineup of Long Beachers under the age of 40 chosen by readers as people with the courage to dream and create a better community. Whether it is altering the definition of who and what Long Beach stands for or shaping our city towards a positive future hands-on, this event will bring recognition to those who have not had the chance to be recognized for such contributions.

Nominations for Long Beach Post Presents:40 Under 40 are now closed. Please join us Thursday, April 25 at 6:00 at The Grand Event Center here in Long Beach.
