Bailey is among a select group of young Vermont professionals that were chosen by a panel of judges to be honored with the award this year.
"The Rising Stars program was started in 2010 to show Vermonters, and in particular the youth of Vermont, that there are people under the age of forty that do make significant contributions to this state and that they are a valued resource when it comes to their employers and their communities," said VBM Publisher John Boutin.
"I’m honored to be receiving the award. The award holds community service in high regard and community service is very important to me," said Bailey upon hearing news of the recognition.
In addition to her role as Sales Operations Specialist at Fab-Tech, Bailey serves actively in the Vermont National Guard and was instrumental in nominating Scott Fine, President of Fab-Tech, to receive the ESGR Patriot Award for his outstanding support and service of Vermont's Guard and Reserve members.
"Fab-Tech is proud to employ and work alongside such courageous young professionals whose strength of character is reflected in the quality of their work and in their commitment to the community," said Fab-Tech President, Scott Fine.
