Description

Waco Under 40, with presenting sponsor Bird Kultgen Ford, celebrates dynamic young leaders under the age of 40, from McLennan County. Nominees represent not only the young leaders who demonstrate a tremendous positive impact in their respective industries, but who also go beyond the call of duty by volunteering their personal time to give back to the community and strive to make Waco a better place to live.
