Ingram’s Magazine Honors The  40 Under Forty Class of 2005


May 2nd was the date of Ingram’s 7th annual 40 Under Forty reception and awards presentation. Nearly four hundred guests, family members, collegues, patrons of Ingram’s Magazine and 40 Under Forty alumni gathered at The City Tavern to celerate this year’s award winners.

Honerees covered the spectrum from builders to lawyers, from young entrepeneurs to executives of large corporations, from public officials to nonprofit directors. The evening provided an opportunity for the honorees to better get to know one another and for us to know them.

Ingram’s is immeasurably proud to watch those who have been a part of 40 Under Forty go on to fill the leadership roles for which we knew they were destined. We can’t wait to see what the 2006 Class has in store.
