YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Mahoning Valley Young Professionals gathered April 18 at Stambaugh Auditorium to honor young leaders at the annual 25 Under 35 Awards.
The event celebrated the achievements of 25 young professionals under the age of 35. The theme of the night, touched on by all who spoke, was “stay.” Stay and use your talents here.
“We want to retain talent. But we also want to grow,” said Nicholas DiNello, a sales representative with Stryker and one of three MVP award winners. “We want to grow the great state of Youngstown into something special.”
Joining DiNello as MVPs were Paige Genova, founder of Vital Pelvic Health & Wellness, and Kaneesha Tensley of the Boardman Police Department.
