More than 250 people attended yesterday evening’s Celebration of Young Leaders at the Governor’s Mansion.

Generation Charleston, the Alliance’s emerging leaders group, marked its accomplishments in 2009 and described its goals for 2010. Gov. Joe Manchin and First Lady Gayle Manchin spoke to the crowd.

Co-chairs Emily Bennington and Kate McCoy passed the torch to Brooke Pauley and Rob Rossano, who are taking over as co-chairs for 2010.
