Across Southeast Missouri, individuals are stepping up and making a difference in a variety of ways. They are public-facing figures taking on significant leadership roles, often seen in news stories. Others work quietly behind the scenes, making a notable impact without much fanfare.
Difference Makers is dedicated to recognizing both types of people.
They come from various backgrounds like business, social services, education, healthcare and philanthropy. They identify needs and seek solutions. They aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, work long hours, and invest their time and resources for a greater purpose. They are passiionate and determined individuals.
While each one has a different "why," they all share a common thread: a passion for leaving their communities or organizations better than they found them.
