The Paducah Sun, in partnership with the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce, is seeking nominations for the area's best Young Leaders.

If you know someone between the ages of 25-40 who lives or works in McCracken County and who has made a difference in 2023 within their profession and community, nominate them and help highlight their accomplishments as well as their role in the future of our community.

The Young Leader of the Year will receive a $1,000 scholarship for professional development. The deadline for nominations for the Young Leader Award is December 13. For information and to receive a nomination form, send an email to: youngleaders@paducahsun.com. 

Finalists will be featured in a January 2024 issue of The Paducah Sun. The winner will be announced during the Paducah Chamber’s Annual Meeting and Business Celebration on January 26, 2024, at the Julian Carroll Convention Center. A profile of the award winner will be featured in February.

The 2022 Young Leader of Western Kentucky was Eric Straub, with Whitlow, Roberts, Houston & Straub.
