Nominations for the Red Rock Area’s top young business people are now being taken by the Marion County Development Commission.

The annual Top 10 Under 40 awards are intended to highlight the contributions which young people are making in local business, as well as encourage them to become volunteers in the community.

Carla Eysink from the Commission says they work to promote the Red Rock Area, and these awards help to showcase how these young professionals impact their communities and the companies they work for.

Nominees must be between the ages of 18 and 40 as of December 1st, and live and work in Marion County.

Nominations are being accepted between now and December 28th; anyone interested in nominating a recipient, or who would like to learn more, is asked to contact the Marion County Development Commission.
