The Augusta Metro Chamber, in partnership with Augusta Magazine, is pleased to showcase 10 of Augusta's most outstanding young professionals at the June Member Economic Luncheon. The Top 10 in 10 Young Professionals to Watch was developed in 2009 by the Augusta Metro Chamber to annually highlight ten young professionals (age 25-35) in the Augusta Region. The Top 10 will be featured in the June issue of Augusta Magazine, and the Chamber nominates these top young professionals for Georgia Trend magazine’s 40 under 40. In recognizing these individuals, the Chamber aims to expand recognition for Augusta’s young professional talent throughout Georgia.
