The magazine solicited nominations from the community, and an independent panel of judges reviewed the nominations and chose the 40 winners, including a Woman of the Year and Man of the Year.
“We are thrilled for Erik to be recognized with this honor and look forward to celebrating his award with him in October”, said Craig Rost, EDC Executive Director. “This list is a wonderful representation of the young professionals in Champaign County making a positive impact in their communities.”
