The South Bend Regional Chamber and the Young Professionals Network South Bend is celebrating the 20th Class of the Michiana Forty Under 40. Honorees were posted on the chamber website April 28.
The program recognizes young professionals and adults who leaders and show a commitment to their communities.

Winners were chosen for their career dedication and success, along with service to others. Awardees must between 22 and 40 years old. They also must live and work in Michiana, which includes La Porte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Starke and Marshall counties in Indiana; and Cass and Berrien counties in Michigan.
