Meet York County’s 2026 Ones to Watch!

May 6, 2026

We’re excited to introduce the 2026 Ones to Watch — an inspiring group of young leaders who are making their mark on York County through innovation, leadership, and a strong commitment to community impact.

Each finalist was nominated by peers, colleagues, and community members who recognized their outstanding achievements, strong character, and commitment to making a difference.

Congratulations to the 2026 Ones to Watch

Whether they’re mentoring the next generation, launching new ideas, or stepping up to serve, these individuals represent the bright future of our region.

We are proud to celebrate their success and shine a spotlight on the incredible talent driving York County forward.

Please join us June 1, 2026 at Replay Brewing to honor our 2026 Ones to Watch!

Why Ones to Watch Matters

This annual campaign is more than a recognition—it's a celebration of emerging leadership. Finalists are selected based on professional achievements, leadership potential, character, and community engagement. It’s a chance to lift up those who are quietly (and not-so-quietly) creating positive change.

Keep an Eye on These Leaders

You’ll be seeing more of these rising changemakers in the months ahead—at events, in the news, and out in the community. Be sure to follow along and support their journeys as they continue to lead and inspire.
