Jayhawk Area Council NOW Accepting Nominations for the 2020 Topeka’s Top 20 Under 40 Honorees

The Jayhawk Area Council is now accepting nominations for the 2020 “Topeka’s Top 20 Under 40.” Nomination forms can be accessed at: www.jayhawkcouncil.org/20under40-nominate through June 1, 2020 at 11:59 PM.

 “Being able to launch nominations now is such a positive light for our community in a time that has been very uncertain for many,” says long time community advocate and volunteer, Marlou Wegener. “Each year I’m excited to be a part of the process that focuses on the good being done by people in our community.”

 Each year “Topeka’s Top 20 Under 40” program honors 20 individuals under the age of 40 based on their leadership and achievement both professionally and as members of the Topeka/Shawnee County community.  A selection committee, comprised of established leaders within the Topeka area, determines the final 20 honorees based on the applications received from the nominees.  The honorees will be recognized at an awards banquet on Thursday, November 12, 2020 at the Downtown Ramada.

 The Jayhawk Area Council encourages the nomination of any individual over the age of 18 but under the age of 40 at the time of nomination who demonstrate leadership, work-ethic, strong character, and service to the Topeka/Shawnee County community. Nominations are encouraged for young leaders that have been nominated and applied in the past, but were not selected as an honoree.
