“ As a former Young Gun , there is extreme pride in getting to congratulate individuals with genuine passion , solid commitment and an unwavering drive to lead — as well as serve with all their abilities . The West Virginia Executive honorees inspire each of us to grow our abilities . My Chinese immigrant grandparents taught me as a child , you will know when you have achieved success when someone breathed easier because of you .”
– Yolanda Tam Managing Member Executive Benefits and Estates
“ I love meeting all the Young Guns . While I know those from my area , it ’ s especially nice to meet those from other parts of the state and learn about them . When someone gets named a Young Gun , that ’ s a highlight in their lives for them , but what they don ’ t know is it ’ s only the beginning . I like watching them over the years as they progress in their careers and their lives . I know we ’ ll hear much more from each of them .”
– Jeri Matheney Director of Communications Appalachian Power
“ It was a pleasure to attend the Young Guns reception to celebrate the recent honorees . This group of Young Guns represents the best and brightest of West Virginia . I look forward to seeing how this current group of young leaders can inspire others to move West Virginia forward .”
