South Bend Chamber recognizes Michiana's Forty under 40

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The South Bend Regional Chamber held its annual Michiana Forty under 40 luncheon Thursday afternoon at the Northern Indiana Event Center.

Those honored are regional business and professional leaders who have achieved success before the age of 40.

“Making a great difference, they’re volunteering for nonprofits, they’re working for their kids' school, they’re doing a lot of different things to really help influence the community. So it’s really sort of the whole body of work. Everything from what they’re accomplishing during their day job and what they’re doing to influence the community otherwise," said Jeff Rea, the President and CEO of the South Bend Regional Chamber.

ABC57 Meteorologist Emily Kennedy and anchor Vahid Sadrzadeh were emcees for the event.
