The Tallahassee Network of Young Professionals (NYP) is hosting the first annual Golden A.C.E. Awards and Gala. A Golden A.C.E. recipient is an emerging young leader in their respective industry and also represents the award’s namesake – to highlight those in the community who pursue Authentic Community Engagement, or A.C.E.
As an organization dedicated to making Tallahassee a city that can attract and retain the Florida’s young professional (YP) talent, the Golden A.C.E Awards and gala will recognize the Capital City’s top “20 under 40” YPs.
Divided into industries, each award and recipient will be selected by committee of their peers in the field of their expertise – these include, but are not limited to, entrepreneurship, state work, public service, education, health care, law and non-profit sectors in Tallahassee. A complete list of the 20 categories is outlined below. Additionally, an overall award will be presented to the one of the 20 Golden A.C.E. award winners and would be granted the title of Top A.C.E. Each applicant will select a non-profit or charity organization of their choice during the application process. If they win their category and are ultimately selected as the Top A.C.E., all additional event proceeds will be donated to the organization of their choice.
