Chris Edwards Named to Wilmington Chamber of Commerce 2024 40 Under 40 Awards

We are thrilled to announce that attorney Chris Edwards has been honored with a place on the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 40 Under 40 Awards list.

The list consists of individuals spanning various industries, including construction, education, healthcare, law enforcement, and manufacturing, who significantly contribute to our community and drive business growth. To be eligible, nominees had to be under 40 years old by October 2, 2024, and reside or work in Brunswick, New Hanover, or Pender counties. A selection panel reviewed all nominations and chose the winners earlier this year.

This prestigious acknowledgment highlights Chris’s dedication, hard work, and significant contributions to our community and the legal profession. But Chris’s journey with the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce began long before this recognition. He is a proud graduate of the Chamber’s Leadership Wilmington program, Class of 2020. This program is designed to develop leaders who are dedicated to improving their communities and has played a significant role in shaping Chris’s leadership skills and community involvement.

Chris and the other 40 Under 40 recipients will be honored on Wednesday, October 9, from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts at the 6th Annual 40 Under 40 Awards ceremony.
