t’s hard to believe it’s already December, but here we are. For Prairie Business, December means the unveiling of the 40 Under 40 in one of our most-read issues of the year.

It’s a prestigious award that draws stacks of nominations for qualified candidates. Only 40 can be chosen, though, and we’re pleased to unseal the proverbial envelope now and announce those winners. Congratulations to all the deserving honorees. The list starts on page 26.

We’re also on the second month of our redesign, and that means a few more sections making their grand entrances: Around the Office highlights a modern workspace; Join The Team explores job opportunities at a company that prides itself on great culture; and Construction Corner maintains that traditional and long-standing section but with a new style. We’re not done yet. Look for even more brand new sections next month.

It’s been a great year at Prairie Business. We redesigned our website, published our inaugural 13th edition and redesigned and rebranded the magazine itself. Those are only the enormous accomplishments. We had plenty more large, medium and small ones. I hope your businesses boasted accomplishments of all sizes in 2016 as well.
