GenNext The Washington County Chamber of Commerce's Young Professionals Group, GenNext. GenNext is also open to non-Chamber members.

We hope to achieve our mission through a combination of seminars, luncheons, and social events specifically structured to help young professionals advance in their communication, networking, and leadership skills, in addition to becoming advocates in the community involvement in the Hagerstown-Washington County region. While GenNext is specifically geared towards a professional demographic of und

er 40 years of age, we plan to keep this group open-ended in the sense that professionals of all ages can participate as we hope to demonstrate the worth of a "young professional' across the board. For information on this group, and to get on the GenNext mailing list, please contact Director of Member Services & Marketing Brianna Scott at [email protected]

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26th - Trivia Night was a hit! Devan Zeger and her team at Barrel Bodega were excellent hosts, the beverages and food were delicious and the space was perfect for our get-together.

GenNext broke up into two teams: Team 1 - Hit It and Quiz It, and Team 2 - The Point Broadband Winners (duly named for the single branded pen they were using).

Matt read the questions, Genia kept time, and Katie tracked points.
Round One: Chamber Knowledge
Round Two: Washington County Historical Facts
Round Three: 80's, 90's, and Early 2000's Trivia
Bonus Round!

It was a close battle, competition was heated, accusations of cheating and fingers were pointed - yes pointed, like the Canadian Curling Team. When the dust settled, the points were talleyed and Team 1 came out on top to win the prize! Giftcards to Barrel Bodega!

Thank you to all members who participated, we'll see everyone in the Crow's Nest at The Brick Tavern of Hagerstown on March 4th at 5:30pm. Register Here: https://business.hagerstown.org/events/Details/gennext-event-1631407?sourceTypeId=Website

January 27 - Day in Annapolis - GenNext member Jacob Menard of CNB Bank, poses with Chamber President Paul Frey. Looking sharp, Jake!

He came to Annapolis as part of Leadership Washington County's 10 month program where a select group of individuals strengthen their network of contacts and actively engage in issues around topics like economic development, history, art and culture, education, religion, politics, and social service needs.

Day in Annapolis is an annual advocacy event where local businesses have the opportunity to meet with key legislators and state officials who can positively impact the Washington County Community Coalition’s 2026 agenda.
