Gifted young adults from across America have brought their talents to the Scenic City.
“Brain Gain” is a commonly used term that is the polar opposite of “Brain Drain,” which happens when smart people flee a city en masse. By all accounts, Chattanooga is experiencing a golden era for attracting talented young professionals, resulting in a big-time “Brain Gain” here. Our gig-speed internet and a culture deeply rooted in outdoor adventure sports are siren calls to the young and the restless.
For 2022, the Chatter Magazine 20 Under 40 class is dedicated to those who can’t call Chattanooga their hometown but do call it their home. Nominations for 20 Under 40 are open now.
For this year only, we are limiting nominations to those high achievers under 40 who have moved here as adults. If you, or someone you know, meets that description, please complete our nomination form by April 22, 2022.
