Posted on by admin

The Lexington Young Professionals Association is seeking nominations for the annual Rising Stars Awards. These awards are meant to recognize young professionals in the Lexington-Fayette County area and surrounding communities who demonstrate a strong commitment to impacting the community in a positive manner through professional and non-professional service and achievement.

In addition, individuals who are currently serving on the LYPA Steering Council or previous Rising Stars recipients are not eligible.  However, past nominees who were not selected for the award are strongly encouraged to resubmit an application.

To nominate a young professional, visit: http://lexypa.org/annual-lypa-events/rising-stars-awards/ and submit a nomination form by Saturday, August 25th, 2018.

Individuals will be selected by an outside selection committee, composed of leaders in the Lexington –Fayette County community. Details on the awards banquet will be available soon.

To honor the nominees and the 2015 Rising Stars, please consider purchasing a corporate table at the Rising Stars awards ceremony and advertising space in the program to congratulate the nominees on their noteworthy accomplishments. Contact Aaron Rothke at president@lexypa.org for more information on sponsorship opportunities.
