CANTON, GA -- The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2016 Top 10 in 10 Young Professionals recognition program.

The Top 10 in 10 Young Professionals to Watch initiative is designed to cultivate and showcase exceptional young professionals in Cherokee County.

Coordinated by the Cherokee County Chamber, in partnership with Enjoy! Cherokee Magazine, this recognition program focuses local residents between the ages of 20 to 40 who are considered to be Cherokee County's potential future leaders.

Do you know a 20 to 40-year-old rising professional residing in Cherokee County who is an up and coming leader? Do they have their sights on where they want to be in the next five to ten years? Perhaps that person is you. Judging criteria includes professional goals, volunteer/community activities as well as past professional achievements and awards.

Those chosen for this recognition will be recognized at the Chamber's Good Morning Cherokee breakfast held on the first Thursday in June, featured in the August Issue of Enjoy! Cherokee Magazine and nominated for the GeorgiaTrend Magazine 40 Under 40 recognition (must be under 40 years of age on Oct. 1).

Rising stars recognized in 2015 as Cherokee County's next generation of community leaders Meagan Biello, Paul Ghanouni, Matt McClain, David Pitts, Kryss Roch, Adam Smith, Mark Smith, Ben Thacker, Matthew Thomas and Kyle Wallace.

Nomination forms are available from the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce at 3605 Marietta Highway in Canton or online.
