Since 1998, the Alaska Journal of Commerce has recognized the state’s top professionals under 40 through Alaska’s Top Forty Under 40—honoring individuals who demonstrate excellence in their careers and a strong commitment to their communities.
Class of 2025Nominations are open every year for individuals who fit the criteria. Nominations consist of responses to various questions pertaining to the individual's success in their careers and dedication to their community, as well as submission of letters of support.
A committee spends two weeks reading through hundreds of nominations that include upward of 500 submitted pages. Each committee member then scores the nominations, and the top 40 scoring nominations are selected for that year's Top Forty Under 40 class. These top 40 professionals are notified and photographed to be honored in a commemorative magazine and at a special evening celebration.

This year, the Alaska Journal of Commerce is pleased to once again recognize a group of outstanding young professionals as the Class of 2025 Top Forty Under 40.
We are thrilled to have winners representing Anchorage, Utqiagvik, Fairbanks, Juneau, Kodiak and Palmer.
