An Evening with the 2022 Georgia Trend 40 Under 40 Honorees

On Wednesday, October 26, 2002, at the Georgia Aquarium, we had the pleasure of celebrating the 2022 Georgia Trend 40 Under 40 honorees. The evening was made possible because of generous sponsors Georgia Power, Mercer University and Kysor Warren. 

Below you will find group pictures from the evening including a gallery of individual photos of the recipient with Ben Young, Editor & Publisher. We will add another set of candid photos next week.
