Recognizing our Region's Stellar Young Professionals

As part of the Greater Akron Chamber’s strategy to attract and retain talent in the region, the “30 for the Future” award honors young professionals (ages 25-39) whose stellar contributions impact their industries and the Greater Akron Region.

Each year, the Greater Akron Chamber asks our members and our community to nominate outstanding young professionals in our region. An independent Advisory Council then selects the award recipients based on the finalists’ Leadership Documents, which showcase professional and community accomplishments, team-building, leadership, and creativity in overcoming obstacles.

Recipients are honored at a gala celebration and profiled in a special section in the Akron Beacon Journal.
