Soror honored as one of TNJ’S 40 UNDER-FORTY DYNAMIC BLACK ACHIEVERS | The Network Journal

"Launched in June 1998, The Network Journal's 40 Under-Forty Black Achievement Awards honors men and women under 40 years old whose professional accomplishments have significantly impacted an industry or profession, and who also have made an important contribution to their community.

A "TNJ40Under-Forty" honoree typically is a business owner, or a management executive with significant decision-making authority in the corporate, nonprofit (including academia and medicine), or government sector.

A committee of judges reviews each year's candidates and their supporting material and makes the final selection for the year's honorees." (TNJ)
