A 2014 recipient of the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce’s “Top 10 in 10 Young Professionals to Watch” award has received another prestigious honor. Isaac Kelly, a Recruiter/Staffing Specialist with Augusta Staffing, has been chosen as one of Georgia Trend’s “40 Under 40”.

Each year, Georgia Trend Magazine highlights 40 individuals under the age of 40 who make an impact on their professions, communities or state. Isaac was nominated by the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce as part of the award for winning the area’s Top 10 in 10 competition. In submitting nominations on behalf of recipients, the Chamber’s goal is to expand recognition for Augusta’s young professional talent throughout the State of Georgia.

Kelly has played an integral role in re-shaping the Job Shop/Augusta/Aiken Staffing brand by leading an innovative charge in developing a new company logo and color scheme, managing 18 company social media networks and co-managing company sponsorships of groups, causes and events. Kelly is not only a game-changer professionally but also philanthropically. He is on the nomination committee for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, an advisory board member at Miller Motte Technical College, a non-profit coach for Michelle’s Kids and founding president of Augusta Pride, which attracts more than 10,000 people to its annual event.
