11th Annual 40 Under 40 Luncheon A Success



Talk about an entourage.

The forty people honored at this year's 40 Under 40 Luncheon put on by Syracuse Univeristy's Whitman School of Management at the OnCenter in Downtown Syracuse brought a healthy supporting cast.

Well over 500 people dined together before honoring a select group of Greater Syracuse businessmen and women for their contributions to the community both professionally and personally.

The youngest of the bunch was 25-year-old Monica Cutillo of Bristol-Myers Squibb.

"I think it's deserving because of the work I do with girl scouts and the Society of Woman Engineers and trying to empower other people to feel like they can make a difference," she said.

The Greater Syracuse area also extended itself just an hour south to Ithaca.  Cornell University's Jennifer Weil took home the distinction as well.  She says going forward, it's important to look at Central New York as a whole, rather than just as the Syracuse area.  

This, she says, will help make the whole area a better place to live in the future.
