GRAND FORKS, N.D. • Prairie Business is pleased to announce its 2022’s Leaders & Legacies award recipients.
Leaders & Legacies is the magazine’s top honor, given to exceptional executives in the Dakotas and western Minnesota, past and present. The award recognizes executives "for the great things they have done in business, whether in recent years (Leaders) or over a lifetime (Legacies)," according to Prairie Business Publisher Korrie Wenzel.
Prairie Business received a number of nominations for 2022, but staff also nominated a few individuals. After reviewing the career highlights and accomplishments of a number of people, the magazine selected nine exemplary business leaders in the region for this year’s awards.
They are profiled in the July issue of Prairie Business and will be honored at a ceremony later this year, along with other award winners – those recognized in the magazine’s Top 25 Women in Business and 40 Under 40.
This year’s Leaders & Legacies recipients come from the industries of advertising and marketing, architecture and engineering, construction, financial services and health care.
