Several members of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce have been named to the prestigious annual Crain’s 40 Under 40 list, which honors “executives, founders, creators, and strategists” who are “leading Chicago into the future,” according to the publication.

This recognition shines a spotlight on the next generation of business leaders who are already making a difference in Chicago’s vibrant economic landscape. The list includes filmmakers, lawyers, CEOs, and community activists — all of whom are reshaping industries and driving progress across the city.

“I’m incredibly proud of our members who made this year’s 40 Under 40 list,” said Jack Lavin, President and CEO of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. “These rising stars exemplify the dynamic, innovative spirit that propels Chicago’s business community forward. They’re doing more than excelling in their fields — they’re actively molding our business future.”

The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce takes pride in supporting these rising stars and fostering an ecosystem where young talent can flourish. As we celebrate their achievements, we’re excited to see how their fresh perspectives and bold ideas will continue to invigorate our city’s economy in the years to come.
