Meet Our 2022 10 for the Next 10
Big ideas. Intense effort. Vision and tenacity. These are the forces that will shape 417-land’s next decade, and they’re the qualities we looked for when we chose the 2022 10 for the Next 10. This year’s honorees work in a wide range of fields. They’re contributing to our region’s economy, culture, communication and workforce development. We can’t know all the ways their ideas and efforts will develop, but we believe that 10 years from now, we’ll see their impact everywhere.
