Who’s Got Next?
Back when I played pickup basketball on a regular basis (and was able to dunk), the big question that kept getting asked was “Who’s got next?”
It was asked by players who had just arrived at the court. It was asked by players who had just won a game and wanted to know the identity of their next challengers. It was asked by players who had just lost a game and wanted to play again. It was asked by players who had been waiting on the sidelines a long time behind other players.
Everyone wanted to know who had claimed the next spot in the spotlight. We have plenty of answers to that question with our 23 NextGen Awards honorees.
Get to know some of the next generation of young business professionals in many types of roles, offices, and Coastal Virginia cities. Find out what they are most proud of, their next big goals, the best pieces of advice they have ever received, and some things not many people know about them. In our guest column, Echelon Front COO Jamie Cochran offers leadership insights for the next generation.
Speaking of many offices, we also celebrate the 30 companies selected as Best Places to Work. Follow the Money, our new feature, focuses on dollar figures at Atlantic Park in Virginia Beach—from the many millions down to the price of a nice steak. Our Spark piece is on the revitalization of Prince George Street in Williamsburg.
In Faces and Places, you can follow people and business changes. See what commercial real estate deals went down in Transaction Action. Our Small Business Spotlight feature is on Mold Dog of Virginia. Our Over on the Shore feature is on Bread & Butter, a new restaurant in Onancock.
Now you know what we have for you in this issue. Just one big question remains.
Who’s got the next great story?
