For two decades, the Young Professionals Initiative’s 40 Under Forty, a program of the Greater Shreveport Chamber, has recognized the young professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders shaping the future of Shreveport-Bossier.

As we celebrate the program’s 20th anniversary, we’re looking back at the incredible individuals who have been honored over the years and highlighting where their lives and careers have taken them since receiving this recognition.

If you’re a past 40 Under Forty honoree, we’d love to hear your story.

Whether you’ve launched a business, earned a promotion, started a family, volunteered in new ways, or reached other personal or professional milestones, we want to celebrate what you’ve accomplished.

Being named a 40 Under Forty honoree was never meant to be the finish line. It was a recognition of your potential and the impact you were already making in our community.

Now, 20 years later, we’re celebrating what happened next.

Your update may be featured in our anniversary edition publication (October 2026 issue), website, social media or other commemorative materials showcasing the lasting impact of the 40 Under Forty program.
