I first became involved in our 20 Under 40 section in 2019 when we were preparing the 2020 section, and I continue to be amazed by the young professionals from the Park Cities and Preston Hollow.
During a months-long nomination process, we at People Newspapers solicited 20 Under 40 candidates from our readers. After the nomination process, a selection committee consisting of members of our staff, members of the Rotary Club of the Park Cities, and a previous 20 Under 40 honoree considered community ties and impact, philanthropic work, and career accomplishments to determine our 2022 20 Under 40 honorees.
From sports to business, to the North Texas philanthropy scene, our 2022 honorees have made a difference in their communities, workplaces, and career fields in the North Texas region and beyond.
I can say I’ve been inspired by our honorees’ dedication to their various projects, and I hope our readers are, too.
I’m proud to be able to see firsthand and share the stories of how people across age groups in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow are working to solve some of the world’s most intractable problems and help their neighbors.
I can say I’ve been inspired by our honorees’ dedication to their various projects, and I hope our readers are, too.
Some standouts this year include:
A sports star whose charitable endeavors are making a difference in his new home of Dallas,
An SMU law student whose family overcame homelessness during his teen years after a snowstorm in Pittsburgh. He now works with organizations helping students and others in poverty,
And People Newspapers’ first posthumous 20 Under 40 honoree, a nonprofit leader who helped create more compassionate and inclusive communities for all through his disability awareness education.
In addition to our 20 Under 40, we highlight a pair of young siblings. They aren’t yet teenagers but are already making a difference through their nonprofit work.
We hope you enjoy meeting your neighbors and come away uplifted.
