Chamber Presents Hudson Valley’s 20th Annual Top Forty Under 40 Mover & Shaker Award Honorees
The Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce proudly announces its Hudson Valley’s 20th Annual Top Forty Under 40 Mover & Shaker Award honorees. The honorees will be celebrated on Thursday, May 1, 2025, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, at a ceremony at Living Water Theatre located on 260 Mill Street in Poughkeepsie.
Bestowed annually to forty people under the age of 40 who have shown a strong commitment to the Hudson Valley, the Mover & Shaker Awards honor individuals making a difference in their communities and going above and beyond in their professions. The selection committee reviewed nominations from the community and scored each nomination independently of each other and the Chamber, with the scores then tallied to determine the Top 40. Neither the Chamber staff nor any sponsors or partners influence the judging in any way.
“These individuals are really the best of the best, and they represent the future of the business community within the Hudson Valley region,” said Frank Castella, Jr., President and CEO of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce. “We congratulate all the honorees this year, and we look forward to celebrating their accomplishments in May at the Living Water Theatre.”
Chosen from a pool of over 100 nominations, the honorees represent professions ranging from academics to entrepreneurs, teachers to bankers, non-profit directors, and community volunteers, as well as various other industries.
