Leadership Luncheons are also held quarterly, to allow young professionals the chance to have lunch and network with some of the most prominent business and community leaders in Cobb County.
"Like many communities in the metro Atlanta area, Cobb recognizes the importance of attracting the next generation of leaders to help grow its economy. Cobb Young Professionals and the Next Generation Award are prime examples of what Cobb is doing to make young professionals want to live, work, and play in Cobb County. All the past winners have shown exemplary leadership skills, excelled in their industry, and have given back to this great community," says Kevin Hyland, 2017 Chairman of Cobb Young Professionals.
