• Top 35 Under 35

    Every two years, your Chamber selects the top 35 individuals ages 21 to 35 from local businesses and organizations. The individuals selected to join this elite group have demonstrated exemplary leadership, dedication to the growth of the community through both professional and personal accomplishments, and a commitment to the success of Grand Island.

    Nomination is not required to apply for this award. 

    To be eligible, applicants must be between the ages of 21 and 35 and work in or contribute to the Grand Island area. 

    The next Top 35 Under 35 application will open in 2026.
