The deadline is fast approaching.

Since the start of the new year, VISTA Today has been accepting nominations for its third class of VISTA Millennial Superstars, an initiative presented by Penn State Great Valley.

We’ve had individuals nominated from a wide range of industries, and their achievements are a confirmation that Chester County’s future is in great hands.

The deadline to submit nominations for this prestigious honor is 11:59 PM on Friday, Feb. 11.

The annual Awards Reception & Celebration will be held outdoors on Tuesday, May 10 at Penn State Great Valley. An in-person event that will feature food trucks, drinks, touchless registration, a VIP tent, and boundless opportunities to network, the Awards Reception & Celebration will also be live-streamed.

What is a VISTA Millennial Superstar?

It’s a young professional (under the age of 40) who is breaking down walls, shattering expectations, and doing remarkable work in his or her profession or community. VISTA Millennial Superstars are blazing trails of success throughout Chester County, making it a better place to live.

How does the process work? Nominate yourself, a friend, colleague, or associate to be in the 2022 class of VISTA Millennial Superstars.

A committee will then evaluate and select 40 honorees from the hundreds of expected submissions based on:

• business success (financial results, career growth)
• community involvement (volunteer work, advocacy)
• leadership ability (public profile, reputation)
• influence (positive impact on community, company, industry, or Chester County’s overall quality of place)

The winners will be announced the week of March 7, and their profiles will be featured on VISTA Today every day leading up to the Awards Reception & Celebration on May 10.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Handi-Crafters, a Thorndale-based nonprofit that empowers individuals with disabilities to live more productive, independent, and fulfilling lives.
