The Marion County Development Commission (MCDC) is accepting nominations to honor 10 young professionals in the Red Rock Area. The purpose of these annual awards 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.

Carla Eysink, MCDC Executive Director tells KNIA/KRLS News “We are accepting nominations until January 31st and we are excited about this program. It’s an opportunity for us to honor some of the young professionals in Marion County that are doing some great things.”

Companies and organizations are encouraged to nominate individuals from around the county and from various occupations. According to Eysink around 50 nominations have been turned in already.

Nominees must live and work in Marion County, Iowa and be between the ages of 18 to 40 on December 1, 2022. Nominations are being accepted until January 31, 2023. Recipients will be announced in April. For questions, contact the MCDC at carla@redrockarea.com.
