Top forty celebrates

The event, sponsored by Mutual of America, Kalikow, the Presidents Club and Cavan Crystal was a salute to forty men and women who have distinguished themselves in their careers and community efforts.
The gathering was in fact a third of its kind as the very first Forty Under Forty was inaugurated by the Irish Echo over a decade ago.
The awards were revived last year and such was the success of that event that led directly to last week’s event which was addressed by special guests Congressman Michael McMahon, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Ireland’s Deputy Consul General in New York, Breandan O Caollai.
