40 professionals under the age of 40 were honored for their business accomplishments and community leadership at the 10th annual 40 under 40 luncheon at the Convention Center at Oncenter. A crowd of about 500 people showed up. Food wasn’t cheap! A plate of chicken, beans, and mashed potatoes was $45. Though it was more expensive than the average lunch, the 40 winners also received plaques. Robyn Bombard. who is in charge of 40 under 40. says that "A committee of five judges reviewed about 100 applications for the honor. They looked for people who showed excellent leadership at their jobs and in the community. The only personal information on the applications was the age of the applicant, to ensure that the person was under the age of 40." Dean Melvin Stith from Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management was the keynote speaker of the event.
