Nominations were submitted, narrowed down, and, finally, we selected the 20 individuals—all under 30 years old—who represent the best and brightest in 417-land. The group reflects the dedication and innovation of our region through their volunteer work, community involvement and ambitious careers.
This year’s list includes people like Whitley Lane, who runs HR at 19 branches of Bear State Bank in Missouri and Arkansas; Zach Terhark, who started his business while attending Evangel University; and Garrett Lowder, who has presented at national conferences about Nixa Public Schools’ STEAM curriculum.
Read their full profiles on September 7 at biz417.com, and celebrate with the winners at our 20 Under 30 Party presented by Elite Mercedes on Friday, September 23 at Missouri Spirits. Get tickets here.
