WRITTEN BY ALLISON WAY, SENIOR COPYWRITER & CHIEF EDITOR
Last week, KC Business magazine selected 34 of the most promising Kansas Citians to receive a Rising Stars honor. This program, in its third year, honors the city's most outstanding leaders under the age of 40 in the creative, entrepreneurial, nonprofit and corporate entities.
Think Big Partners' own co-founder, Herb Sih, participated in the program as a judge alongside Steve Booth (PlattForm Advertising), Jerry Jorgensen (Park University), Julius Karash (KC Business magazine) and Jeanette Prenger (ECCO Select).
Congratulations to this year's Rising Stars! Thank you for dedicating your time and hard work to the Kansas City community.

Kudos to KC Biz, Anthem Media Group and a special shout-out to our very own Rachel Spear, one of this year's Rising Stars.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see in 10 or 15 years the significant, positive impact this collection of leaders will make on Kansas City.
Keep up the great work, all!
