Community members nominate young professionals whom they feel are worthy of the honor. Nominees are invited to complete an application, which is reviewed and vetted by a selection committee made up of community leaders and scored based on personal and professional goals, leadership, professional experience and community involvement.
This year’s honorees serve, lead, give and inspire. Take a glimpse into the lives of these young leaders.
