As a group, Current is very excited for the 2012 annual Future 15 & Young Professionals Awards. It is a great feeling to recognize our next generation of leaders for their involvement and achievements. At last year’s dinner we debuted the Future 15 with great success. This year our candidate pool has grown by 25% and our judges continue to be impressed with the depth of talented individuals and the collective impact of Greater Green Bay’s young talent. Thank you to all of our nominators and nominees, as well as our sponsors including Prevea Health as our title sponsor, for making this event possible. This event truly inspires by showing the effect our young professionals are having on our community, and it serves as a guide to those seeking to increase their own involvement and contributions.
