Even though the AL DÍA 40 Under Forty is only in its third year, an evolution has already taken place in the landscape of notable young professionals in the Philadelphia region.

So far, 80 unique individuals have been named an AL DÍA 40 Under Forty honoree for their contributions and impact within their respective fields. 

Of those previous 80, a number of them have gone on to make tremendous leaps and bounds in both their professional and personal lives.

In the lead-up to the 2022 AL DÍA 40 Under Forty, more will be learned about the journeys of a number of those individuals who were honored in previous years. 

It will happen thanks to an AL DÍA partnership with NBC 10/Telemundo 62. 

“It’s an honor and privilege for NBC10 and Telemundo62 to be a part of AL DÍA’s 40 Under Forty event,” said Elizabeth Flores, Vice President of News for NBC 10 and Telemundo 62. 

The 2022 AL DÍA 40 Under Forty will feature two special TV programs — an English language program on NBC 10 and a Spanish language one on Telemundo 62. 

During the program, viewers will learn the stories of several previous years’ honorees, where they are today, and also meet the new 2022 Class of honorees. 

“We are grateful to partner with NBC 10 and Telemundo 62 as we look to amplify the stories of the next generation of leaders in the Philadelphia region and beyond,” said Martin Alfaro, Director of Business Development at AL DÍA.

The value and significance of highlighting the young professionals of the region is very clear.

“They are the future who are paving the way for emerging talent,” said Flores. 

In past years, the AL DÍA 40 Under Forty has honored entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, influencers, artists, media professionals, innovators, lawyers and more.

Each has made and are continuing to make their marks throughout the region, helping transform the future of our city.   

The purpose of the annual event is to shine a light on those who are making a positive impact, but often aren’t given the due recognition for it.

“It is thanks to partners like NBC 10 and Telemundo 62, who have stood by us from the inception of this program, that encourage us to continue providing a platform for those who are left in the shadows,” noted Alfaro. 

The television specials will air on Telemundo 62 on Sunday, August 14, and the NBC 10 special will be available on their digital platforms beginning in August.

The 2022 AL DÍA 40 Under Forty reception will take place Friday, August 26 at the Vie by Cescaphe, beginning at 5:30 p.m. For more information on the event or to purchase tickets, click here.
