Becky Hammon chosen as one of the Top 40 Under 40.

On Dec. 25 the San Antonio Business Journal will publish its 40 Under 40 Rising Stars publication honoring young people in San Antonio who are making a difference in the business world and the community.

The 40 winners were selected from a pool of more than 200 nominees under 40 years of age as of Dec. 25, 2009. Nominations were sought from Sept. 1 through Oct. 16.

This year’s honorees represent a diverse group reflecting the city’s growing business community.

We wish to thank everyone who participated in the 40 Under 40 process. Choosing this year’s winners was not easy, given the large pool of truly exceptional people who were nominated.

San Antonio has a bright future with these young stars helping to guide its path.
