2014 Class of 20 Under 40
For the last 13 years, The Courier has honored hundreds of community leaders yet to reach the magical median age of 40. At our meeting March 9th, we honored the 2014 class.
There were several past 20 Under 40 honorees in attendance, as well as two honorees from the Courier's series Eight Over 80.
Class of 2012 20 Under 40 winner Mason Fromm presented Courier Publisher David Braton and Courier Editor Nancy Newhoff with "Service Above Self" awards on behalf of the Waterloo Rotary Club. Our club extends a deep appreciation for David and Nancy's efforts to solicit, select, and honor the best and brightest Cedar Valley leaders.
