Chamber Welcome
Welcome to the Greater Irvine Chamber’s sixth annual 40 Under 40 event! We are thrilled to have you join us this evening as we celebrate some of Orange County’s most inspiring young professionals who are making a remarkable impact in our community.
Tonight, we gather not just to honor these outstanding individuals, but to recognize the vibrant energy and innovation they bring to our region. Each honoree represents the spirit of collaboration and creativity that drives our business community forward.
At the Chamber, we are dedicated to fostering the economic vitality of the Greater Irvine community, and it’s truly an honor to acknowledge this dynamic group who exemplifies leadership and commitment. These young professionals are not only shaping their own futures but are also paving the way for a brighter tomorrow for our entire community.
As we celebrate their accomplishments, let’s also take a moment to connect and share ideas. The potential here is limitless, and together, we can continue to elevate our community as a leading hub of innovation and growth.
Thank you for being here to support our honorees and for being a part of this exciting journey.

ANTIS ROOFING & WATERPROOFING
Presenting Sponsor Message
I love roofing and how each shingle carefully protects the one beneath it, affecting the waters flow… and how the entire system works together, to keep a family safe & dry…
It’s the same with great leaders, like these Greater Irvine Chamber 2024 40 Under 40! They flow, by seeking to understand what drives their teams. They bring us all together, providing things like shelter, medicine, education and philanthropy, building bridges in our community.
Tonight, when we look around us, values in leadership have never been more important! Six years ago we began sponsoring the 40 under 40. I remember, we had to do it! We felt, “We must invest in those who will lead us forward and tell their stories.
The biggest thing that keeps bringing me back are all those taps I get on my shoulder from “forty-something” past winners, and that “Thank you” for sponsoring their cohort and telling their story! It’s all about the impact they’re creating!
Thank you once again, Greater Irvine Chamber of Commerce and all of these beautiful brands. Congratulations to the 2024 40 under 40!
