The River Valley Media Group and The 7 Rivers Alliance have joined together to launch a regional program to recognize rising stars, celebrate their achievements and encourage them to remain in the region.
Honorees are chosen through an independent judging process, not by the quantity of nominations received. Nominees must be younger than 40 on Aug. 1 and work in the 7 Rivers Region, which includes the following Wisconsin counties: La Crosse, Vernon, Monroe, Jackson, Trempealeau, Buffalo, Juneau, Crawford and Pepin; the following Minnesota counties: Winona, Houston and Fillmore; and the following Iowa counties: Winneshiek or Allamakee. The nomination deadline is Friday, July 19th.
The Rising Stars Under 40 Event is coming up in October this year! The 7 Rivers Alliance Team invites you to think of some worthy nominations to be recognized at a local banquet put on exclusively for these Rising Stars! The specific date for the event is still being determined, but nominations are now open for the event!
