Our future is in good hands. That’s the conclusion we’ve drawn after reading the stories of the 10 young people The Courier featured in its series “Focused on the Future” which concludes today. Over the past week, we’ve profiled 10 men and women who are accomplished in their selected fields – from education to business to public service. The newspaper’s staff selected these 10 individuals knowing that there are dozens more in the Courierarea who deserve similar recognition. That’s why we are asking you to let us know about others who deserve mention. You can write or email us with a brief profile of the person you wish to nominate. We’ll print some of the nominations. It is important that we listen closely to what young adults who have chosen to live in the Courierarea have to say. Contrary to the common belief that all young people flee small towns for the bright lights of the big city, Madison has a solid group of women and men poised to take over the leadership reins. We’re also proud of those who have chosen to pursue their dreams in other communities. For many, it was the encouragement and nurturing they received at home that inspired them to move forward. To grow, we must tap into the pool of young people including students from Hanover College and Ivy Tech Community College. Young people might ask, “How can I make a difference?” There are many ways. From organizations such as Madison’s Future Young Professionals to volunteer opportunities offered by many organizations, there are many venues for one to share his or her talents and energy. All that is required is a desire to do good work and a dose of youthful enthusiasm. • There are several ways to send us your nominations: • Email: news@madisoncourier.com • Mail: The Madison Courier, 310 West St., Madison, IN 47250. • Fax: (812) 273-6903. |
