The newly-titled program takes inspiration from Coulter’s first State of the County Address delivered at the Flagstar Strand Theater in Pontiac in February 2020. During the address, Coulter announced the theme of “Oakland Together” and stated the county could unify, lead and innovate, “…together as public servants working for the public good, together with our residents and businesses, and together with our region.” 

The 40 finalists, who will be featured on the Oakland County Oakland Together 40 under 40 website,  will receive invitations to the 2022 State of the County Address and pre-reception and the Oakland Together 40 under 40 Award celebration.
