The NELAs recognize Nashville's young professionals for significant accomplishments in their chosen career fields, as well as their commitment and contribution to the community.

Fourteen individual winners were recognized for their accomplishments in their respective fields, their demonstrated leadership and their involvement in community-service activities.
Another facet of the NELAs is the Impact Award, which honors a community leader who is making an important impact on the young professional demographic in terms of community leadership and professional development of Nashville's YPs and YP organizations. The 2010 Impact Award winner is Ron Samuels, chairman, president and CEO of Avenue Bank!
