The future is bright.
American and world events over the past year or two (or decade) haven’t exactly been cause for optimism; and local, state, and national indicators don’t predict a flourishing economy any time soon. But, long-term, there are many reasons for hope. The main one? People.
Throughout the Aug. 25 edition of WBJ, you’ll read about the best of what humanity can be, personified through WBJ’s 40 Under Forty, Class of 2025. This year’s awards, designed to highlight the best up-and-coming professionals in the Central Massachusetts business community, showcase two scores of people who are leveraging their talents and expertise to make their businesses better and give back to their communities. The winners are executives, entrepreneurs, and advocates who are making their marks on our lives and doing so in kind, generous ways.
There’s Juli True Dooley, who’s helping a community health center overcome a particularly downtrodden moment in the industry. There’s Thomas White, who’s taking his family business into its next century and emphasizing sustainable infrastructure development. There’s Edlin Ortiz, who’s providing paths for Worcester’s most at-risk residents to achieve financial stability and home ownership. And there’s Lexi Brissette, the youngest winner this year, who’s becoming a real estate all-star and using her success to support children battling cancer. Each of the 40 winners deserves their own highlight reel, but it’s best if you just start reading.
The economy, the community, and our collective humanity all boil down to people: those who lead us, those who do the work, those who stand up for their beliefs. Over the next six decades or so, we will be led by the likes of this year’s 40 Under Forty. And that’s reason for hope.
The future is bright.
