The 2015 Young Man and Young Woman of the year will be named at the Gainesville Jaycees’ annual banquet set for Thursday, February 18th, at 6 p.m., at the Chattahoochee Country Club. These distinguished awards recognize young leaders in Hall County for their achievements in leadership and service to the community.
The Young Man of the Year award dates back to 1945, and the Young Woman of the Year award has been awarded since 2001. The purpose of the award is not only to honor deserving young men and women, but also to inspire the community to pursue civic service with selfless devotion.
“Much is expected of these honorees,” says Sam Latimer, President of Gainesville Jaycees. “They have continued their service to the community long after their award, going on to serve in positions such as federal judge, U.S. Congressman, Governor, bank president and generous philanthropist.”
The 2014 recipients, Trey Wood and Heidi Ferguson, will present the 2015 awards, whose recipients are kept secret until the awards are presented.
Tables for 8 can be purchased for $750 and individual tickets for $100/couple by contacting Jaycees President Sam Latimer at [email protected] or 770.287.7800
