My vision is to live in a community where people recognize the power they have to positively influence others—leading not only through words, but through consistent, meaningful action. I’m inspired by those who use their unique talents to make a difference and who meet challenges with courage and determination. I thrive in conversations that spark new possibilities and expand our shared belief in what’s achievable.

When we bring our best selves, we become catalysts for inspiring others to do the same.

With that spirit in mind, I’m honored to introduce this year’s Top 10 Under 40 winners—individuals whose leadership is leaving a lasting mark on our community. I’m deeply grateful for their contributions.

As you read their stories, I encourage you to connect with them—make an introduction, share a resource, or simply offer your support. Every gesture helps accelerate their momentum. Together, we can turn individual sparks into a community-wide blaze of progress and possibility.

And this fall, I invite you to join us for the John Maxwell Live2Lead event—an exceptional leadership development experience. Let’s invest in our community by investing in our people. Sponsor the event and bring your team. Gift a ticket to a young professional. Or come yourself, knowing that your success is Siouxland’s success. ❤️

Congratulations again to this year’s winners—and I look forward to seeing you there!

Stacie
