Award season is in full effect for cinematic icons and for those of us in the business world looking to have a lasting impact on our communities. And there’s no greater honor for those of us at Lambent than watching our female founder be among award recipients this season.
Julie Johnson Roberts was honored at the Boston Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 event this October among a number of other Boston-based innovators. The 40 Under event has been a heralded event for years and this was no exception. Kicking off the night, former honoree James Barger, Market President of KeyBank said “the career achievements of people in this room are impressive and your support of the Boston community is equally impressive.” We couldn’t agree more as we watched Roberts take the stage alongside the region’s most promising young leaders who have profoundly advanced the Boston community.
