The Prince George Chamber of Commerce has released its latest list of top 40 professionals under the age of 40.
Almost 100 people were nominated, a 54 per cent jump from last year's inaugural process, which Chamber CEO Christie Ray called "encouraging and inspiring. This kind of public enthusiasm indicates to us that the youthful energy of our city is one of our biggest assets."
Nominees were judged independently by a panel of local business people. They were assessed according to their professional achievements, experience, leadership, innovative actions, responsibilities, success, and community involvement.
"When you look over the list of Top 40 finalists, you don't necessarily see the future leaders of tomorrow; many of them are the leaders of today," said Chamber president, Derek Dougherty. "Prince George offers great opportunities for early advancement to young professionals."
The list is made up of Alex Castley, Allison Fedorkiw, Andrew Kurjata, Arvinder Billing, Bryan Paice, Candice Manahan Coyne, Catherine McCarthy, Chris Kinch, Cindy Thomson, Cory Klein, David Mothus, Dustin Robin, Gaurav Parmar, Jacki Collyer, Jason Morgan, Jennifer Brandle-McCall, Jeremy Stewart, Jessica Quinn, Jillian Masson, Jodyne Green, Joel McKay, John Kason, K. Travis Morgan, Kaleena Ross, Kyle Wightman, Lauren Phillips, Marnie Hamagami, Mike Ray, Miranda Paterson, Reza Akbari, Roberta Stewart, Sabrina Mowbray-Angus, Scott McWalter, Seth Tobin, Shiloh Carlson, Sufey Chen, Taylor Grafton, Tiina Watt, Travis Holyk andTyler Burbee.
