Scenes from the 2020
DIFFERENCE
Event
It was a different kind of event, to be sure, but BusinessWest’s Difference Makers class of 2020 was celebrated in style on Sept. 24 at the Upper Vista at the Log Cabin Banquet & Meeting House in Holyoke. Honorees, their guests, and sponsors were in attendance at an event where safety and social distancing were paramount, while hundreds more took in the ceremonies remotely. Above, the class of 2020, from left: Ken Furst, a board member with Rick’s Place; Monte Belmonte, morning-show host for WRSI & the River and creator of Monte’s March; Dianne Fuller Doherty, retired director of the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center; Steve Lowell, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank; Ronn Johnson, president and CEO of Martin Luther King Jr.
Family Services; and Sandy Cassanelli, CEO of Greeno Supply. Ira Bryck, business consultant and former executive director of the Family Business Center of Pioneer Valley, could not be present for the event.
