The Chamber is honored to announce the 2020 group of Cherokee County's Top 10 in 10
Young Professionals to
Watch.
"The Top 10 in 10 initiative is designed to cultivate and showcase exceptional Cherokee County young professionals," said Pam Carnes, Chamber President and CEO. Coordinated by the Chamber, in partnership with
Enjoy! Cherokee Magazine
, this recognition program focuses on Cherokee County residents under age 40 who are considered to be Cherokee County's up and coming leaders over the next 10 years.
"We were extremely pleased with the number and caliber of candidates for this year’s recognition. As we have grown accustom to since this program’s inception in 2012, far more than 10 nominations were received and likewise, there were far more applications than honoree slots. Each application was carefully reviewed by a panel of judges that found the task of only choosing ten honorees challenging," shared Chamber Board Chair David Simmons, Vice President for Facilities with Chattahoochee Technical College. Judging criteria included past professional achievements and awards, five to ten-year professional goals as well as the nominees volunteer and community activities. Besides being recognized during a future Chamber event, the recipients will also be featured in the summer issue of
Enjoy! Cherokee Magazine
. The honorees who will be under the age of 40 on October 1 have been nominated for the prestigious
GeorgiaTrend Magazine
40 Under 40 recognition.
