Lippincott named to 40 under 40

The Wyoming Business Report has made their selection for this year's class of 40 under 40, those folks under the age of 40 who are making a real difference in Wyoming.

This year, Jessica Lippincott, Education Director at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center was one of those chosen for the honor.

The complete list includes those in architecture, hospitality, law, engineering, economic development and more from across the state.

A call for nominations went out earlier this year and Levi Shinkle at the Center nominated Lippincott without telling her.

After nominations closed in April, she received a call she had been nominated and had to send in her resume, an essay and a photo to the nominating committee.

"I am honored," Lippincott said. "Its really neat people from our community are still doing big things. Its really nice to be recognized."

A special event to honor the winners will be held later this year along with a special publication from the Wyoming Business Report giving an outline on each of the 40 under 40 winners.
