Young Professionals Group

Grand Island has long recognized the importance of young professionals (ages 20-40) in the community. As baby boomers retire, the number of young professionals joining the workforce continues to stabilize and promote the economic health of Grand Island's growing business community. The Grand Island Area Chamber of Commerce established the community's Young Professionals Group in 2007. The group has continued to grow, diversify, and positively impact the community through civic and professional leadership roles, volunteer activities, and outside-the-box business tactics.

Top 35 Under 35

In addition to the Young Professionals Group, a select group of young professionals are recognized for their outstanding community involvement and progressive professional career path. The Top 35 Under 35 program highlights Grand Island's best and brightest in the workforce. Staying true to the recognition's name, all recipients are under the age of 35. Nominations and selections for the recognition program are collected biennially.
