The Marion County Development Commission is accepting nominations to honor ten young professionals in the Red Rock Area. 

The purpose of the annual Top 10 Under 40 awards is to highlight the impact that young adults are making in Marion County, encourage young adults to become involved as volunteers, and highlight the benefits for young adults to live and work in Marion County. Nominees must live and work in Marion County and be between the ages of 18 to 40 years old on December 1st, 2023. Nominations are due by January 31, 2024 and Carla Eysink, Executive Director of Marion County Development, says that the winners will be announced in March.

“It’s such an exciting time to really honor those young professionals doing great things. We will be announcing those Top 10 in March, so we’ve got a little bit before we announce them.”
