The KLEM LAND Community Champions recipients for 2026 has been announced, with six individuals having been selected by a panel of judges.
This year’s recipients are:
– Tim Claussen, Vice President at Primebank
– Maggie Rechtenbaugh, administrative assistant at the Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce
– Katelyn Schilmoeller, commercialization associate project manager at Wells Enterprises

The Community Champions program is an effort to recognize young adults who are making a difference where we live! A vibrant part of that mix is the talented class of young professionals. Nominees were judged in categories including career or education success, mentorship/leadership, and civic/philanthropic activities. Over the next several weeks, KLEM will highlight each recipient and their contributions to the community on KLEM Radio and on our Facebook page.
Sponsors of the Community Champions program include Primebank, The Sitzmann Real Estate Team, Wells Enterprises, Floyd Valley Healthcare, Hy-Vee, Meschers Clothing, and Kemps Dairy.
