      Celebrating the Women of Impact
A PROGRAM OF BUSINESSWEST
 On Dec. 8, BusinessWest staged its fifth annual Women of Impact celebration. Held at the Sheraton Springfield, the eight honorees were accompanied by colleagues, friends, family, alumni, and other regional supporters. With almost 300 people in attendance, the audi- ence heard compelling stories, moving speeches, and even shed some tears. The class of 2022, pictured above, includes (from left) Laurie Raymaakers, president of J.L. Raymaakers & Sons Inc.; Latoya Bosworth, program officer at Mass Humanities; Sr. Mary Caritas of the Sisters of Providence; Anika Lopes, Amherst town councilor and president of Ancestral Bridges; Hilda Roqué, executive director of Nuestras Raíces Inc.; Jodi Falk, executive director of Rachel’s Table; Aelan Tierney, president of Kuhn Riddle Architects; and Ashley Sullivan, president of O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun. Special thanks go to presenting sponsors Country Bank and TommyCar Auto Group, and partner sponsors Comcast Business, Granite State Development Corp., and Smith Executive Education. The photos on the following pages help tell the story of an inspiring evening.
