The Marshalltown Federation of Women’s Clubs, the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Historical Society of Marshall County are all working together to collect nominations for the 2nd annual Jessie Binford Advocate for Youth Award.

That is Chamber Tourism Director Dylan Does who shares that Jessie Binford advocated for those who did not have voices and a big advocate for the youth.

Does encourages people to think about who has made a deep impact on youth in Marshall County.  He says nominations are due on December 23rd.

If anyone has a question about the award or nomination, you can reach out to Does directly at the Chamber of Commerce.  The award will then be given out at an award dinner on Jessie Binford’s birthday, January 20th at the Binford House.
