5 Under 40 Reception

 

Regions’ Young Professionals Honored with Reception

 Young Professionals, in coordination with Columbus and the Valley Magazine, made news by hosting a reception last Thursday honoring 10 citizens of Greater Columbus.  The reception attracted over 70 people who observed the honorees receiving plaques for their accomplishments.  Honored were five outstanding individuals under 40, and five rising stars; both for their commitment to making a difference in the Columbus area through their leadership and dedication to family, business, faith and community.  The Greater Columbus Chamber is proud of the difference the honorees are making for our region.

 The five under 40 are: Jay Alexander, Helena Coates, Brantley Ford, William Taylor, and Tyler Townsend.

 The five rising stars are: Merri Sherman, Brian Sillitto, Almesha Ramsey, Brad Clements, and Brenda Williams.

 It should be noted that the YP Program purchased all YP members a 6-month subscription to Columbus and the Valley Magazine back in March of this year.   For more information on the winners be sure to check out your copy.
