“Whether they were professionals, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, non-profit execs, I was looking for nominees that were committed, had achieved obvious successes and were well-rounded,” judge Cameron Burke said. “The BIV Forty Under 40 award winners are leaders and role models who make outstanding contributions to their workplaces and communities. Their accomplishments raise the bar for others in the formative years of their careers, propelling business growth in BC.”

Shatzko, the only recipient to reside in the interior of B.C., was also recognized for her op-ed pieces on what the next decade could hold.
