Danielsville, GA (October 31st, 2024) – The Madison County Chamber of Commerce is honored to announce the 2024 group of Madison County's Top 5 in 5 Young Professionals to Watch. 

"The Top 5 in 5 initiative is designed to cultivate and showcase exceptional Madison County young professionals," said Anna Strickland, Chamber President & CEO. Coordinated by the Chamber, this recognition program focuses on Madison County residents under age 40 who are considered to be Madison County's up and coming leaders over the next 5 years.

"We were extremely pleased with the number and caliber of candidates for this year’s recognition. Each application was carefully reviewed by a panel of judges that found the task of only choosing five honorees challenging, in fact we had to pull in additional reviewers due to this year's cohort's close scores" shared Anna Strickland.  Judging criteria included past professional achievements and awards, five to ten-year professional goals, letters of recommendations from people in the community, as well as the nominees volunteer and community activities.

The rising stars recognized as Madison County’s next generation of community leaders include (left to right): Cody Seagraves, Owner/ Operator, Hilltop Farm; Christina Baxter, County Clerk, Madison County Board of Commissioners; Stephanie Wilson, Office Manager, Madison County IDBA; Nathan Bohannon, Owner, DLB Electric; and Andrew McCannon, Past President, Rotary Club of Madison County. 

The focus of the Madison County Chamber centers on our role as the go-to organization to serve as the catalyst for community & economic development. We exist to connect our citizens, organizations, and businesses with the resources they need to make Madison County thrive.
