FLEX is now accepting nominations for the 2024 Young Professional of the Year.

Nominations are open to the public. Nominees must be 18-40 years of age and live and/or work in Venango County. A review committee will choose the honoree based on their overall civic engagement and community impact, as well as how their lives are an example of the FLEX mission.

Last year, 13 nominees were recognized and Brad Deeter, third generation dairy farmer, 4H leader, and Utica Volunteer Fire Department lifetime member, was named the 2023 Young Professional of the Year.

Nominations are due March 8. Learn more about the event and find a nomination form at venangochamber.org/flex-presents.

Forms can also be found at the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce, located at 24 Seneca Street in Oil City, or by contacting the Chamber at chamber@venangochamber.org or (814) 676-8521. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.

Nominees will be recognized at FLEX Presents, tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 19.
