Just add the individual’s name, a link to his or her Alignable profile, and the reason you think this member deserves to be honored as your top local businessperson of the year.

We nominate Highly Recommended member Caroline Wallace.  Caroline is a UNC grad who has been in the Roanoke Valley since 1994.  She practices comprehensive customized care dentistry, which is now referred to by some as health-centered dentistry, offering a variety of treatment options and determining what is best for the patient's overall health interests.  She works very well with youth, as well as adults.  In our changing world of healthcare, you would do well to have Caroline Wallace caring for you!
