Every year we feature 10 young professionals who are making a name for themselves in their respective businesses. This year is no exception. The talent pool of our workforce is becoming increasingly stronger every year. The industry represented with year’s class includes hospitality, banking, law, visual arts and landscape maintenance just to name a few. I hope you take some time to read about these extraordinary young people who are making a difference in our community.
