Difference Makers Nomination Form

BusinessWest is pleased to announce that it is now accepting nominations for its Difference Makers class of 2026. This program, initiated in 2009, is a celebration of individuals, groups, organizations, and families that are positively impacting the Pioneer Valley and are, as the name suggests, making a difference in this region. As previous classes have shown, there are many ways to do this: through work within the community on one or many initiatives to improve quality of life; through success in business, public service, or education; through contributions that inspire others to get involved; through imaginative efforts to help solve one or more societal issues; or through a combination of the above.

Please submit all Difference Makers nominations for 2026 by December 22 at 5 p.m.
