Warren County Community and Economic Development Director, Charla Duncan was recently named a Trailblazer in the October edition of Business North Carolina Magazine.

In a feature piece titled, Trailblazers: 20 young leaders focused on improving the state’s smaller cities, this acknowledgement focuses on identifying and recognizing thriving business owners and professionals under the age of 40 who work in NC cities and towns that have fewer than 100,000 residents.

Business North Carolina received nominations through July 15, 2022 for leaders who were under the age of 40 as of June 30, 2022. Nominations included short statements supporting these influential business leaders, citing key accomplishments in the last two years and basic biographical information including age, title, hometown, and number of years spent in their current community.

In her profile, Duncan (36) revealed what she believes what makes the Warren County community so special:

Warren County is a bold community dedicated to building a bright future for all who live here. We are fearless and undaunted by hard work. We are a community of creative, innovative and entrepreneurial spirits.

She also named Harry Mills, Granville County Economic Development Director as a mentor and friend who has served as “a big inspiration and help” for her.
