“We are honored to receive such a recognition, but this award is one that is representative of larger community that helped cultivate a vision,” Marshall said.

Also named to a 30 under 30 list was Jena Powell, from Darke County, who was just elected to the Ohio House this November. Powell was recognized in the policy and law category.
