About the Orange County Rising Stars Award
Junior League of Orange County, Leadership Orange, and the Orange County Chamber of Commerce partnered in 2006 to create this opportunity to recognize emerging leaders making contributions in a public forum. Each year as many as 40 individuals between the ages of 21 and 41 who are up-and-coming leaders in their professional and volunteer lives are recognized. Nominees must live, work, or volunteer in Orange County. Selection is based on the individual’s professional and volunteer activities, demonstrated leadership, and the impact the nominee has had on their organization or community. An independent panel chooses the recipients from a diverse pool of candidates for this award.
The founding organizations worked together to build up this important event to acknowledge the combined influence and accomplishments of the many young and vibrant “Rising Star” professionals for their work in the volunteer and business sectors and their potential to continue to do great things within and for our community for many years to come.
