We’re beyond excited to present to you this year’s 20 under 40 winners. This list spans so many industries that it might seem odd to gather all of them under one tent, but these are people who are doing thoughtful work that is improving the lives of so many in our wonderful community.

Their work is thoughtful and passionate—we have no doubt that the people on this list will continue to shine for years to come, and we were honored to be able to chat with them. Despite being younger, many of the people on this list have already had the opportunity to mentor others, and our winners have advice for anyone who is trying to navigate being a young professional in the Inland Northwest. They’ve shared the stories of how they’ve gotten to where they are, their successes and challenges, and where they hope to be in the future.

Though the following article should give you a look into their work, we were not able to contain the entire vibrancy of these conversations within the pages of this magazine. Check out our website bozzimedia.com for expanded versions of their stories; we hope you’ll enjoy learning about this fantastic group.
