They’re teachers, CEOs, photographers, ski coaches, nonprofit leaders.

More than 180 people were nominated and 2,482 votes cast in the Young Professionals of the Lewiston Auburn Area’s — now Uplift LA’s — first class of 40 Under 40 honorees, each up-and-coming professionals in their fields.

Last Friday night, they were officially honored at a Kora Temple celebration. (See all 40 on page B8.) Uplift LA Chair Ashlee Vandiver said the group hopes to make it an annual event.

Some of the 40 names and faces are familiar, some a little less so. Today, to get a feel for the Class of 2016, meet seven honorees you may not have met yet, but you’ll be glad you did. For the full list, head to upliftlamaine.com
