Here they are: the Chronicle’s 2024 Top 20 Under 40 in Lexington County!

The intent of this contest is to highlight standout members of the talented workforce who exist in the county, giving them well deserved recognition and, hopefully, giving our readers a better understanding of the local business landscape along the way.

This class features locals across a variety of fields including law, photography, mental health, communications and more.

These folks are unified by being leaders in their communities, with many of them adding to the contributions they make through their main gigs with volunteer work.

These winners were determined with help from our readers — who nominated deserving young professionals who were under 40 as of Dec. 31 and then voted on our favorites — as well as the chambers of commerce representing Cayce/West Columbia, Irmo and Lexington — who gave their perspective on the contributions made by this year’s nominees.

Cheers to Lexington’s Top 20 Under 40!
