Congratulations to the Cap Under 40 Honorees

shuish//November 4, 2022

As Arizona continues to recover from a global pandemic, this year’s honorees persist in getting the work done. Their work ensures that critical services continue and that policies reflect Arizona’s short and long-term interests.

They work in varying fields but all represent the best in talent under the age of 40, and whose collective work has made Arizona what it is today.

Indeed, they have taken on the most challenging issues, and, in that process, established their credentials through hard work and persistence.
