The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to spotlight ten incredible young leaders at our 2017 Ten Outstanding Young Leaders (TOYL) Awards on November 8.

Boston’s next generation of leaders are hard at work solving some of the biggest issues facing our region. They bring bold, innovative, and creative ideas to the table and are shaping the future of the city. The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to spotlight these incredible individuals at our 2017 Ten Outstanding Young Leaders (TOYL) Awards on November 8.

Hear from our honorees as they share their visions for keeping Boston the best place for people and businesses to thrive. They’ll discuss the work they’re doing – from the opioid crisis to the startup scene to cutting edge journalism – and how it will continue to create impact on the way we work and live for years to come. We hope you’ll celebrate with us – enjoy refreshments, connect with peers, and take part in the conversation around the future of Boston. You’ll walk away from this night feeling inspired, ready to take action, and energized about the Boston we know and love – full of young, bright, talented people like our honorees, and you.
