'Top 10 In 10' Named By Cherokee Chamber Of Commerce

CANTON, GA — The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce has announced the 2021 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," Chamber President and CEO Pam Carnes said in a news release.

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," Chamber Board Chair Adam Smith, senior vice president and commercial banker with Synovus, said in the release. "As we have grown accustomed 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 10 honorees challenging."

Judging criteria included past professional achievements and awards, five to 10-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 an upcoming issue of Enjoy Cherokee Magazine. The honorees who will be under the age of 40 on Oct. 1 have been nominated for the GeorgiaTrend Magazine "40 Under 40" recognition.
