Verdis President Sandy Young has been nominated for the Idaho Small Business Person of the Year award.

The U.S. Small Business Administration will announce a winner in March prior to National Small Business Week. Young was nominated by Idaho Trust Bank Vice President and Senior Private Banker Julie Fay Barnes.

"I have worked with Sandy for several years now and watched as she built an outstanding team of professionals reputed for excellence in the engineering and construction fields," Barnes wrote in her nomination. "She is a leader not only for her employees, but for other businesswomen and entrepreneurs in the industry. Sandy has served as a mentor to many and has cultivated relationships with several subconsultants and subcontractors helping to support the entire small business network."
