Leadership. Community involvement. Going above and beyond the call of duty.
Everyone who crossed the stage at last night's (Nov. 17) 40 Under Forty awards ceremony exemplified these characteristics.
Forty Sudburians from all sectors of the community were honoured during the Caruso Club gala.
“I was obviously thrilled,” Beau Frescura, a RBC investment adviser and executive member of the Rotary Club of Sudbury Sunrisers, said. “It's always nice to get an award like that.”
The 28-year-old is a member of the award-winning dragon boat team Sudbury Canoe Club Chiropractic, and was also chosen to give a convocation address on behalf of the
Laurentian Alumni Association in June.
“Good things come to those who do good things,” he said.
The self-proclaimed “competitive type” attributed his success to “living life to it's fullest.”
“If you feel like your in control, you're going too slow,” he said.
Other recipients of the prestigious award include:

Since 2006, Northern Ontario Business (NOB) has been recognizing the accomplishments of young professionals in the city, as well as in North Bay, by hosting the awards.
Patricia Mills, publisher of NOB, said this year's recipients are an inspiring group.
“How lucky we are as a community to have the talent, tenacity, resourcefulness and passion that appear to be trademarks of this year's winners,” she said.
The panel of judges, made of past 40 Under Forty winners, said selecting the winners was no easy task.
Karen Hourtovenko, a certified life coach, nurse practitioner and health and wellness coach, said having so many nominations to pick from meant only good things for the city.
Hourtovenko was partnered with Dennis Landry, a partner with Copperworks Consulting, Eleethea Savage, business development officer with the City of Greater and Sudbury and Richard Dupuis, director at Desjardins Business Centre.
