  • 40 Under Forty 2022 Recipients

    IVAC’s first group of members represents individuals from all across the Illinois Valley and in many different industries. The recipients exemplify an extraordinary drive to make a positive impact on our communities, our businesses, and our organizations, and have a proven track record for both business and community service and involvement.

    The group is made up of leaders in education, small business, finance, non-profits, retail, police force, and more. “IVAC is extremely excited to recognize these 40 deserving individuals,” said Jeff Borelli, IVAC board president. “This diverse, passionate, and committed group of leaders are valuable assets to our communities.”

    The Chamber would also like to thank the selection committee who volunteered their time to select this year’s recipients. The committee included Beverly Malooley, Malooley Dahm Realty (IVAC Board Member), Dr. Jerry Corcoran, President IVCC, Mark Lipert, Sales Director Starved Rock Media, and Curt Bedei, Economic Development Director of LaSalle (past 40 Under Forty recipient).
