The Marion County Development Commission is accepting nominations to honor the annual Top 10 young professionals in the Red Rock Area. Marion County Development Commission Director Carla Eysink says the purpose of the Top 10 Under 40 is to highlight the impact young adults are making in our communities, encourage young adults to become involved as volunteers and highlight the benefits for young adults to live and work in Marion County.

“Our young professionals provide great contributions to our communities and companies in the county,” says Eysink. “The Marion County Development Commission works to promote the Red Rock Area and these awards will be used to showcase how young professionals impact our communities and companies as mentors. We want to tell the stories of how our communities make great places for young adults to develop leadership skills.” Companies and organizations are encouraged to nominate individuals from around the county and from various occupations.

Nominees must live and work in Marion County and be between the ages of 18 to 40 on December 1st, 2021. Nominations are being accepted until January 31st. Recipients will be announced in April.
