We’d like to congratulate our very own Andrew Scarbrough for being named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Young Professional Association of Chattanooga! Nearly 150 people were present for the YP Awards ceremony last Friday that “recognizes outstanding artists, businesses, community servants and young professionals in the Chattanooga community.” This is the 5th year YPAC has awarded a local professional in Chattanooga with the YP Entrepreneur of the Year award.
As Co-Founder and VP of Operations here at Delegator, Andrew has helped forge a culture of entrepreneurship both on the for-profit side (Delegator.com) and non-profit side (Causeway.org). Delegator is a company of entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs, and our mission is to help growing companies focus on their mission, and confidently delegate the rest. When forming Delegator, Andrew and co-founder Stephen Culp decided that part of our mission would include giving part of our time to charitable causes. Andrew has helped carry out this mission in various ways, including being a part of the founding team of Causeway.org. Causeway is a civic engagement hub — a platform for pairing worthy causes with ways to address them. Causeway’s goal is to support civic entrepreneurs — the civic equivalent of the scrappy, hard-working small businessperson who sees an opportunity to make something work better. And in this case, the community is the one who profits.
Congratulations Andrew on a well-deserved award!
