40 Under 40 Awards: The Class of 2011
Honoring high achievers in business and civic affairs
Meet an amazing group of men and women — the 40 Under 40 Class of 2011. They were culled from a field of more than 90 nominations, each one a leader in his or her chosen field.
Selection of these young business and civic leaders who are helping shape the region’s future couldn’t have been done without the dedicated work of SD Metro’s panel of judges. The are: Richard Cloward, a retired Navy captain, owner of Pacific Shore Maps and executive director of Map & Atlas Museum in La Jolla; Gail Stoorza-Gill, member of the board of directors of Voice of San Diego and Security Business Bank, owner of The Right Question LLC and founder of Stoorza Ziegaus and Metzger; Robert Gleason, chief financial officer and general counsel for Evans Hotels and chairman of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority; Adrian Kwiatkowski, vice president of Bartell & Associates; Jack Monger, owner of Monger & Company, a strategic advocacy firm; Cynthia Morgan, partner, Higgs Fletcher & Mack and member of the board of directors of Centre City Development Corp; Mitch Mitchell, senior vice president of Sempra Energy; Ileana Ovalle, senior manager, external affairs, for Cox Communications; and Louise Toro, historic preservationist and owner of Historic San Diego Marketing & Consulting.
You’ll meet this year’s honorees in the following pages, but you can celebrate with them in person on Sept. 13 at a noon luncheon in their honor at the San Diego Convention Center. Tickets are $75. Contact Bob Page at (858) 229-8909 or Rebeca Page at (858) 761-7797.
