Recipients of First Oswego County Forty Under 40 Announced

By Staff Writers

A police officer from Pulaski, a village mayor, a nuclear senior emergency planner, a child care worker, a financial planner, attorneys and several business owners and professionals are part of the Oswego County?s next generation of leaders, according to Oswego County Business magazine.

The magazine, which is organizing the ?Forty Under 40? event in Oswego County, has just finished compiling a list of 40 people in the community who are 39 years of age and younger and who have made a difference in the community.

More than 60 nominations have been submitted to the magazine and members of a selection committee have evaluated each nomination.

?We?re thrilled with the response,? said Wagner Dotto, editor and publisher of Oswego County Business magazine. ?We had a great pool of young, talented people to choose from and that?s great. We?re very impressed with their credentials.?

Forty Under 40 is the first event of its type in Oswego County. It?s designed to identify and promote younger people in the community.

The event is sponsored by Operation Oswego County, The Workforce Development Board, Pathfinder Bank, OCNB, Oswego Health and Bond Schoeneck & King.

Greg Mills, Barbara Bateman, L. Michael Treadwell, Nancy Bellow and Mary Avrakotos of SUNY Oswego served on the selection committee. Donna Benway of Oswego County Business magazine is coordinating the event.

Selection was based on three criteria: professional accomplishments, civic leadership and achievements/awards.

A breakfast meeting is scheduled for Dec. 17 at 8 a.m. at Springside at Seneca Manor. Recipients will receive a special plaque and will be the subject of a special December-January issue of Oswego County Business magazine, which should be published in mid December.

For more information and tickets for the special breakfast tribute, call Donna Benway at 342-8020.
