Corpus Christi Under 40 (CCU40)
Each year CCU40 recognizes 40 individuals under the age of 40 who excel in their profession while finding time to give back to our community. Nominations are due November 4, 2011, and then a selection committee finalizes the nominations. The program honors those dedicated to making a difference in Corpus Christi. These individuals are dedicated, passionate and determined to make our community better.
After the winners are announced, CCU40 hosts an event honoring the accomplishments the men and women selected. The event not only raises awareness of our young professionals' community but also it will also give a percentage of its proceeds to charity. You can find out more at www.ccu40.org
