Meet our 2026 Future 10 Recipients!

The Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce in partnership with South Brunswick Magazine developed Future 10 in 2012, an honor given annually to 10 young professionals. Nominated by coworkers, supervisors, employees, fellow business owners, friends or oneself, each nominee must meet certain criteria. They have to demonstrate a commitment to excellence in their careers and to making a positive impact on Brunswick County’s communities and quality of life. They have to be 40 or younger and involved in the community. Nominees who are members of the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce are given higher consideration.
