Maggie Shea: 2018 40 under 40 winner!

Maggie Shea is one of the winners for Buffalo Business First’s 2018 40 Under 40!

Attorneys, entrepreneurs, educators and architects.

Their careers are varied, but there is one thing this year’s 40 Under 40 honorees have in common: These men and women are making a difference at work, at home and in the community — and they love Western New York.

The 27th annual 40 Under 40 program is presented by Business First. This class brings the total number of honorees over the years to 1,080.

The thrust of the awards hasn’t changed since the program’s inception in 1992. The goal has always been to identify 40 men and women — under age 40, of course — who are successful in their professions and heavily involved in community activities.
