At dsm magazine, we understand that Greater Des Moines benefits from the community spirit and contributions of local leaders who challenge all of us to improve the place we all call home. That’s why we think it’s important to recognize this leadership through our annual Sages Over 70 awards, which honor local leaders and their decades of civic and business leadership, mentorship, advocacy and overall community involvement.
If you know someone who fits that description, we encourage you to nominate him or her for one of this year’s awards, which dsm will present during a ceremony Nov. 7 at the FFA Enrichment Center on the Des Moines Area Community College campus in Ankeny. Deadline to submit is June 28.
