Welcome to our 5 Under 40 young leaders for 2020. They are, as always, a talented, diverse group of young people who are moving our beloved city forward. We always have felt this annual project of Macon Magazine is an important one. Identifying interesting young people who are successful and giving back to the community in so many wonderful ways creates hope for our future. Each year, past young leaders nominate and choose the new young leaders. They are all a privilege to know and it’s our honor to introduce them to Macon Magazine readers. Pick up the magazine for interviews. Photography by Jessica Whitley
